Re: Best uncompressed lossless format to rip CD and have tags + cover art
[QUOTE=garym;167929]Wav = FLAC = ALAC = lossless!
compression in FLAC doesn't change the above. My suspicion is that the uncompressed FLAC is just something to appease the audiophools that never could understand that lossless = lossless.
I could be in the category of audiophools but I would not have been had I not seen this option
and still wonder what is the advantage of the lossless uncompressed and if that saves on any
CPU processing of the audio so it does not have to be decoded as it is the straight .wav file.
If there is no advantage here then maybe EAC , since it is free, could be the way to go.
Why pay ? I could even still use WMP which does a pretty good job except one cannot
change or modify the directory structures or file naming conventions with those % % flags...
I was thinking DBA had an advantage because of what the audiophools wanted and thus
a reason to pay for it...
Well back to procastinating... you have discouraged me and I may just end up using
WMP or EAC now (I think they did a pretty good job ripping the files and really WMP
is easier for me because I can see all the 6 CD/DVD drives in one application to rip
in parallel. With EAC and DBA, I have to run a process in each desktop to do the
parallel ripping to the hard drive to "speed"the process up than running one rip at a time. )
