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


    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.
  2. 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.

  3. 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
  4. Everyone hears differently. I prefer mono - it sounds more old-school.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. ha.
  8. Kirsten just shared this with me, at the end of her latest PM........ I find it REALLY comical:



  9. But, Sergio...surely you know the CD sounds better than vinyl?

    Put it away man!!!
  10. LOLed for real.

  12. I'd try an older recording and then a newer one to see what difference it makes. But not remastered.
