DVD Flick. It literally burns every format that I've found.

Hey, does anyone know what the sampling frequency of CDs are?
48 kHz or 44.1 kHz ? I know mp3s are 44.1 kHz but aren't sure what CDs are

I just discovered that my ps3 was setto output everything at 48 kHz (even 44.1 kHz content) and now that i've changed it to output at 44.1 kHz my mp3s sound much better. Before I could always hear a drastic difference between mp3s and CDs, not any more

44.1 kHz.

But CDs?

I know you can get MP3s at 48kHz but why would you want to - the idea has never appealed to me to get a higher-quality audioform. Just go for WAV or FLAC. I'd prefer going for DVD audio at 48 kHz and leaving MP3s at 44.1 kHz as I download or rip them at.

AudioCDs are always 44100Hz and 16bits PCM audio.

DVD audio (48khz pcm) can be ripped as 48khz mp3's although most encoders are not optimized for it.

That's what you might know - can Foobar rip at 48 kHz and the new iPods (presumably) play them without skipping?

I dont have an iPod but i think it will work. It will sound worse though. I assume the iPod will resample to 44.1khz internally.So best is to resample on the pc. Foobar has a good resample DSP plugin you could use during converting/encoding/ripping

I'll try it and see how it goes. Not like the iPod actually tells you anything anyway.

99% sure that it downsamples to 44100 though! I would be very surprised if it is 48000. Because most music is 44100.

you guys need to get a Sansa Clip for your music. Sounds insanely good and plays lossless. A beauty
