ok, now i'm getting a decenent audio setup finally i'm going to rave to rip all my cd's, again :( What do you think would be best, 256 AAC VBR or 320 AAC? I've got a 60GB ipod so space shouldn't be a problem, for now :) |

it depends on how much music you want into it. anyway id go for the 320 |
||||||||
|

|

think i'm going to go with 320 AAC, might rip lossless for storage at some point. Damn i hate having to rip all my cd's again. |

use EAC with LAME encoder. you are guarenteed perfect rips. if you want me to link them i will, or else you can use google. |

If you really want to do a proper job, buy a couple of external hard drives, rip everything to lossless and archive on the drives. Then you can transcode from those to whatever format is the most in vogue at any time without ripping again. Just plug in the drives and rip more when you get new CDs. |

hi flachead! :P anyway within 3-4 years audio compression will be obsolete anyway due to the peverse increase in the size of data storage with regards spondulics |

Did I say flac? I merely said lossless 0:) |

I use CDex, it's better than EAC imo becuz EAC it's faster and easier to use. Never had problems. I can't really tell the difference between 192kbs mp3s and CDs anyway... |

it's better because it's faster? you n00b |

You can't? Well, that's cos you're French. |

I'll second using EAC & LAME. |

rip lossless to DVDR (cheapest) picking the lossy codec/bitrate depends on the type of music. I tested so far: - musepack at high bitrate is the best for noisy music - Ogg Vorbis is an excellent allround codec at most bitrates - AAC (LC) and MP3 are about equal, use very high bitrate - AAC (HE)(PS) is best for very low bitrates (+/-48 kbs), great for muxing with highly compressed video, not for hifi music |

What's the point in ripping CDs to lossless files in order to burn them on DVD-R ? |
||||||||

why doesn't recordlabels release stuff on dvd with like 32 bit and 192,000khz? instead of shitty 16 bit 44,000 khz? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because only ten people would hear the difference? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean only 10 people would buy it |
||||||||

for backup buy 100 DVDR spindle for 40 euro and put around 1300 albums lossless on it. So just a few of those can probably hold most people's music collection. After a few years I'd tranfer them on whatever new media format before they rot away and keep the old ones for extra backup. HD is a lot more expensive and they can have virusses or crashes |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
because then people would complain that they want 64 bit/384.000 khz and not shitty 32 bit/192,000khz :) |
||||||||

ended up encoding everything in apple lossless and putting them on an external hard drive, transcoded everything to 320kbps aac for use on the comp/ipod. cheers, |
