What do you mean. I will open it up if you just ask.

A lot of CDs come with some form of protection on, whether it's "copy protection" [Foo Fighters] or something like sticking a data track on [Death in Vegas], or making the CD loads and loads of small tracks that stutter and stick when played in some players on computers [Dzihan & Kamien] or one that just plain won't copy [Ian Brown, music of the spheres] I find ripping to WAV and writing back out again works fine. S'ok on mp3s too - can fit 4 gig odd on a DVD which amounts to err loads of CDs rather than carrying 50 CDs around with me - cos let's face it, if you're listening to it on a PC or laptop at work you won't notice the difference. But I guess if you're going to make your music collection available for download you don't need a lo [sic] quality ripper. _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb
