Hm. I probably don't have anything considered high quality here. Of course, my focus is to listen to the CDs in a car (where I don't have a fancy audio system either), so I'm not sure how much I'll notice mediocre quality. :-) I'm not an audiophile by any means. I have a relatively small collection of music, and I just want to have access to it on all of my devices (so, I need cassette, CD, and ogg vorbis). > Anything 'Sound Blaster' is also evil. Yikes.

Yikes! I've never "destroyed" any of my computer hardware during normal use. Perhaps there's a lot more to doing this kind of work than I thought. > I currently use a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 for recording and it has been > nothing but GREAT, Thanks. That doesn't look too expensive. I'll check into it if the SB recordings are just unacceptable. ---Tom -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
