[EvilYoda]

more than lossless! up-sample while you rip!

Frack that. FLAC is open-source, cross-platofrm, royalty-free license and low CPU usage.

It could, if Apple wasn't as bad about being proprietary and closed as MS. For an ipod you'd need to transcode (losslessly of course) to WAV and then Apple's closed lossless.

For a noisy car, transcoding FLAC to 192 - 320 kbps MP3 should work fine.

Once you have your audio in an open lossless format like FLAC you can transcode to any other format with the same audio quality as ripping directly from CD.

dBPowerAmp has a mass-conversion add-on I used to transcode about 300 CDs to MP3 for my Zen Xtra (as LAME -aps -extreme for 192 kbps average vbr).

Foobar2000 can do this from playlists, though I've not done this myself

Advanced Search could find you others in the Software forum.
