You're also achieving a better filesize than any lossless compression can ever hope to achieve. One could easily argue (if one were feeling argumentative) that the only thing you achieve by insisting on FLAC as your format of choice is that you don't have to go through the trouble of determining at which quality level MP3 is totally transparent and sounds exactly like the CD source, with the end result being that with FLAC you will waste a lot of disk space for something you have yet to prove is even audibly different than MP3. Not that I use MP3 myself, but let's tone down the old time religion a bit and just be helpful. -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32138 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
