I need some serious help

[rudeguy]

I ripped my entire cd collection over the past week. I just found out that I ripped most of them in mpeg4 instead of mp3. I need a program that will re-encode multiple files at once.

Please help!

Well that just sucks, doesn't it

While we're at it, does anyone know a good free program to edit filenames/id3 tags? I just realized my ripper was naming/tagging files in a different way than I thought it was set to.

Try RazorLame with Lame.

If you two aren't too cheap to pay $14, check out www.dbPowerAmp.com the mass files add-on (that costs $14) can do mass tagging and transcoding.

I used it after xmas to transcode about 300 of my CDs from FLAC to MP3 for my new Zen Xtra portable, worked fine.

Decompress to wav, re-encode as MP3?

maybe once i get paid

MAYBE. I still feel like I'm wasting money paying for software and music. It makes giving up being a copyright violator so much harder. If only everything was free.

What do you use now to rip CDs? I use WMP (noob I know but you stfu) which rips everything I ever ripped to mp3...

I used Winamp Pro. I already paid for that, so I don't feel like spending any more money for this.

Transcoding from one lossy format to another will result in sh1tty sound.

If it were me, I would start over.

I just deleted and started over.

What pissed me off is I accidently deleted a folder that had about 700 good songs in it. I have long since lost those cd's. I might have them backed up onto DVD somewhere around here though....
