One program to RIP them all: CD to NAS
-
I have both MP3, WAV, WMA, MP4 and other,.. mix formats as over time I have (been forced) to use different applications to rip them, or pulled from different sources or people
I'm just re-ripping the library for a standard... one Format / File type.
-
I did this with my real cds a few years ago. I used Winamp and WMP. All of my files got correct file info.

You should be ripping everything to a good format instead of mp3.... FLAC and AAC give similar file sizes and far better audio quality.
After this CD is done,.. I'll look to see if it is possible.

Yes i also agree you should get them in flac when tyou do this as it is lossless. If you have good playback equipment you will notice the difference.

You should be able to hear the difference on $10 crappy earbuds, mp3 is an atrocity to audio.

I wished I had 'good' equipment. The main system - A Sony Component system - isn't really at that level and not connected to any media sharing device as I don't think the standard PC speaker jack is 'worthly' of being used. It's a surround sound system
- Front R&L
- Rear R&L
- Center
- Sub

When I did use MP3 - I used the highest bit rate... 192 is good... but ...

320 is actually the highest bitrate for mp3.... and is still garbage. Max quality on FLAC is as close to the original wave file as you can get. If you have the storage space, rip them as uncompressed wave audio (16/44 or 16/48).

and far fewer things that can play them.

VLC has always been able to play both those formats. Not sure why people use other media players.

kinda hard to use VLC in my car, unless they have an Android version that supports FLAC? Honestly, no clue if they do, I've never looked - I rarely listen to music I primarily listen to podcasts.

I checked before going to FLAC / FAAC -or what ever,... iTunes seems to read it just fine, meaning I can load up my old OLD iPod, or my iPhone(s) with music.

VLC exists on android, so I'm sure that FLAC support is either built in or available to add on. Checking on my phone now...
