I more value the time it takes to encode since my server/ripper sits on a very slow pc (but it doesn't use much current). This also means that every device could play the data back. The audio doesn't have to travel to other devices, so the format doesn't matter. I do have a lot of recordings that are saved as 24 and 32 bit wav files, so that would also be work saved. If I ever need to burn a cd from the files when a disc gets bad, it is less work again than having to transcode first.
I don't feel 40% saving is worth the hassle compared to dropping in another disk. -- Havoc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Havoc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5064 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29286 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
