You refer several times to WMA, but do you mean WMA *lossless*, or plain lossy WMA? If you mean lossy WMA, then the obvious problem with transcoding from WMA to FLAC is that you won't restore the music/data that was lost when you ripped to WMA in the first place. You only want to rip once, so rip to a lossless format for maximum flexibility.
If you mean lossless WMA, then it's less clear cut. A disadvantage of WMA is that it's a proprietary, so you're somewhat at the mercy of Microsoft. If they change the format, you have to go with it. I personally cannot see any advantage to "...ripping to WMA (for example), converting to FLAC, then when I want to burn a new CD, convert back to WMA, burn and so on." -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40632 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
