    Exactly!!! I noticed this only too much at the U2 show. Way too quiet crowd - given it was a Wednesday night they may have been tired but you know...
  2. Hi all ive been putting it off for ages but its finally time to rip all my cds to my new pc. I use itunes and want to put some songs on my iphone too. wat is the best way to rip it to itunes so that i get the best quality possible? i dunt mind if it takes up heaps of HDD space cuz ive got plenty of room.

    I'm looking at the import settings now theres a choice for "import using" and then "setting", so which should i chose for each.
    any help would be greatly appreciated
  3. MP3, 192kbps, 44.100kHz stereo (joint) seems to be the best option.

    Ripping CDs is a pain in the arse - it takes forever to tag them afterwards too.


  4. i phone is 16gb but im only gona put a couple of albums on their and rotate them every few weeks, most of my listening is done on my pc

    I have about 200 albums on mine and on average at least 5-6 songs are over six minutes (out of 12 or 13), so this takes me to about 120MB an album.

  6. If you rip them with Windows Media Player it automatically recovers media info from the web and auto-tags your files. I never tag CD-rippped files except for the cover art and some details (I'm picky about composers, etc).

    I'd have thought Apple Lossless would have been a better quality option and you can set iTunes to retrieve the song info/track names for you, which makes ripping CDs much quicker and less painful.
  8. Best way I've ever found is through Exact Audio Copy, convert to WAV then go back to Foobar and let that tag them and convert them to 192kbps.

  9. My mate rekons ALAC is the best for sound quality, is he right, just checked a forum on it and everyone is saying different stuff
  10. Everyone hears differently. I prefer mono - it sounds more old-school.
  11. I think that the audio quality is the most overrated and burned out discussion ever.

    If you have a trained ear and a very good sound equipment, then you'll like your music collection being stored in the biggest quality possible (that means WAV or FLAC). If you lack one of those things, you won't give a damn.
  12. If you want to know what sounds best, JulienLossless or Bob will give you some great pointers.

    The way modern recordings and remasters are now, I'm not sure you can do any worse in regards to your own choices in audio formats.
