OT here : But rip your own cd's to a lossles format ffs !! Period !! otherwise all work doing rips is wasted time ( I've reripped my whole collection once ). Even if you don't use lossles files on any player .
The you have no losses and you can covert to whatever fancy you at the moment for the software you use at this moment in time . If your chosen lossles format goes extinct you simply convert the ripped files to another lossles format nothing is lost . If you want to change the lossy format you are using on your players , you simply go to your lossles archive and makes lossy copies in the desired format . But you should maintain a lossles backup of your CD's then you never have to rip again , batch converting is very easy to,do with many softwares . It is correct that a lossles copy of a lossy files retains the quality , but how to keep track of its pedigree ? In 10 years when you make a lossy copy of this "Flac" file ? And you wonder why it's sound terrible :D then you managed to do a lossy to lossy conversion anyway , with the expected artifacts ... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
