What proggie do you use? I'm not talking about actually burning the CD, but rather what do you use to rip the songs off a CD?

EAC + LAME (use on MP3 player)
EAC + MPC (use on computer)

Monkey... because its lossless. Simple as that. The quality is exactly the same as on CD.

I use this thing called "Fair Use". Store-bought CD, assclown

Congrats!! So a lawsuit wouldn't ever apply to you. What's with the name calling? I never called you an asshat did I, asshat?

EAC. Then Lame for mp3's... although I use ogg vorbis too. I would use monkey's audio or FLAC if i had the space on the hard drive.

monkey (*.APE file) is lossless
lame mpe is lossy

lossless meaning, it won't compress as small as a lossy file but if you were to decode back to wav, it would be exactly the same. Matching CRC or md5 checksums
can't say the same for lossy

currently i use EAC .. MPC and APE .. ill use APE for other encoding when a better lossy codec comes out. right now, MPC is hands down the best.

I prefer ISO. I prefer ISO for _all_ my fair use, actually.

Although theoretically, fair use doesn't exist anymore - but they can kiss my ass if they think I'm going to hear a word of that.

Wow, we do a good job of reading, huh?

So it's fine for you to be an ass(clown/tyrant/hat/belonker/jockey) by saying "omgz teh lawsuitx0r" but not for him to give you the rightful smack upside the head you deserve?
