The Itunes aac rips are quite good actually but the mp3 encoding is not. If you want to go to mp3 then I would recommend dbpoweramp for the job. It won't do better rips than EAC but you'll have much better tags (metadata) and a lot of tools for conversion plus a ton of dsp affects. You do have to pay for it but it's well worth it. -- Nonreality -IF THE RULE YOU FOLLOWED BROUGHT YOU TO THIS, OF WHAT USE IS THE RULE.- HTTP://www.last.fm/user/nonreality ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nonreality's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51538 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
