Yeah, what a pain to get around someone's right to protect their intellectual property. And it's so hard to find free programs and PHP (or other) scripts to automate it for you. Whew, that IS a drag. But what's really a hoot, and what I'd like to know, from an old (40+!) retired internet CTO and long-time audio engineering hobbiest (speakers and amps), is how you calculate signal loss from this process. The burn/rip should be digitally identical. The re-encoding is entirely up to you and there is no reason for bandwidith or amplitude degradation from the original digital to most formats you can re-encode to. So please, help me out, I would seriously like to know how you calculate signal loss from this process. -- tlp [164kb MP3 encoded library (wish FLAC had been around when I did most of my ripping oh so long ago) -> PC -> 100 Mb network -> SB3 -> Denon 3805 (used mainly as a pre-amp / DSP) -> Speakercraft BB1265 running whole-house audio, rack of assorted amps, mostly older Carvers or Sunfires -> bi-amp'd Paradigm Reference Studio 100 V.3's, CC-570, ADP-470's, and my own make of electrostatics (hence the rack of Amps).] Terry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tlp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8459 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29626 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
