Yes, if you sample digitally at 44.1 kHz, you'll get that popping. Of course, an analogue rip will work just fine, regardless of your computer's set sample rate. It's great to hear that I'm not the only one ripping audio from LDs. Out of curiosity, what LDs have you found worth your while to rip? This time around, I ripped the two versions of "Koyaanisqatsi" (they sound so much better than any of the CDs, not to mention the fact that they're complete), "Pink Floyd's The Wall" (the 1997 "widescreen collector's edition", which allegedly has more dynamics and deeper bass than the DVD versions), "Pulse" by Pink Floyd (which I ripped for the few extra tracks that aren't on the CD; I haven't noticed a strong difference in audio quality, however). The LD of Duran Duran's music videos also has fantastic audio quality, even though it's analogue only. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ megarat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66421 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106680 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
