I am in the process of ripping about 600 CD's to my media system computer, and I never realized there were so many ripping software on the market. Originally I was just using the WMP 11 ,and trying to get the best quality on the computer. Now i see software like EAC, Lame ,dbpoweramp cd ripper and the list can go on and on , and now you have the formats WAV,WMA, Flac, MP4,MP3 etc any body have any info on the matter.r As of ight now I have some of a little of each but, would like to just use one and that is that. I was ripping with WMP lossless and then realized my Creative Zen V plus will not read those files, so it was back to WAV ,and they take up a lot of hard drive space, but I have lots of space. I was listening to different formats,, and to the human ear,I cannot tell which is better but I know one thing ripping to mp3 take's a hell of a lot of less HD space. Well that is my question. Thanks I should mention this is playing thought a Pioneer AV amp into monitor 10B Polk speakers and JBL and Bose speaker's with a HT Striker sound card in the computer, so i have good quality hardware for this endeavor.
