This isn't exactly perfect, but you're right - the file won't be degraded further which would happen if you converted to MP3. MP3 uses different compression models which discards different data than AAC, so converting to MP3 will make it slightly worse. At least converting to FLAC -won't- make it worse, but it won't make it better either. The best is to start off lossless right at the beginning and make other lossless and lossy copies off the master lossless library, but it sounds like it's too late for that. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta), SBC (early beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58990 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
