It is really an indication to the compression engine of how much time the user wants the engine to spend trying to compress things a little bit better. It is really not a compression ratio control, it is more 'search this long for a better way to compress' > I have heard from several sources that the difference in the amount of > compression is not that great.

This way you know that the source is the same. And any CD read errors won't impact your timing tests. But in general, the higher settings take lots longer and don't shrink the files all that much more. But if it is running all night, set it higher. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
