WMA is not support in hardware so it must be transcoded to WAV at the server. FLAC is supportted in hardware.
Advantages of this is that you have lower server requirements, lower bandwidth requirements, and you can FF/REW through songs with FLAC. You can not with any server decoded codecs such as WMA. FLAC is open source WMA is closed source As for sound quality either will be the same that is the nature of Lossless. EAC is what you should use. Not sure what you are referring to with 4bit stereo with EAC. The bit rate and freq. is determined by the source, not by the tool used to rip it. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21940 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
