What you up to?
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.
Celebrating 6000 posts and watching the Olympics

I started out ripping purely with Windows Media Player all those years ago at 128Kbps. Then I discovered 192Kbps MP3 and then lossless.
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 swimming's been awesome.
Yeah, we've done well on the bikes

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!

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

do you have one of these, and what is it exacty

In Foobar2000, which I use for all my ripping stuff, it's a small software plug-in which identifies the ID of your CD. For example, I'm ripping War Remastered now (single disc), and the ID embedded into the disc is passed through to a company called FreeDB, the program returns that data and a whole lot of other possible matches and then adds them in - if it has them.
iTunes can do a similar thing, but only for iTunes-ripped CDs and files - and Windows Media Player is pretty poor at it - it doesn't even identify classical stuff properly.
