    Re-ripping my entire CD collection to 192Kbps MP3. It's lotsa fun when the ones you thought worked actually still didn't. How about you?

    I need to do that with some of my older songs. My iPod skips them randomly. Think I encoded them badly when I first ripped them all that time ago.

    I started out ripping purely with Windows Media Player all those years ago at 128Kbps. Then I discovered 192Kbps MP3 and then lossless. A great tip for media collections: never let Windows Media Player handle them because it will corrupt them badly.

    I'm celebrating 4300 posts - but not watching the Olympics, however I read the Australians are doing quite well.

    They are indeed. But they always do. We rarely do, and are actually turning in some good performances this time.

    I watched a couple of the swimming championships. That was compelling.

    Edit: Checking out the articles on BBC about the GB cycling gold on Super Saturday. Nice job.

    The BBC site is great for Olympic coverage as well as other stuff.

    15 more CDs to go - and now I have auto-track retrieval, meaning I don't have to fill them out!

    I did have a sleep, go to work and come back within that time (so I haven't gone non-stop), so I've done about six or so tonight. They should all be done in about two more hours time - god, it's a pain in the arse and next time I will backup everything!

    I'm glad I'm not this guy though: http://club.cdfreaks.com/f7/please-help-me-rip-10-000-audio-cds-41537/

    But the automated track grabber is brilliant and helps a lot.
