RE: AAC V MP3



> erm question... What is lossless ? Do you mean a straight rip ? Maybe

Rip to something like:
WMA lossless
FLAC
monkeys
shorten

etc etc.
Various tradeoffs with the different formats - file size vs time & cpu
resoures to encode and/or decode, platforms supported etc etc.
Check this for a size/speed comparison

I use WMA personally, but I know FLAC is quite popluar, probably coz it's
free and cross platform....

I use Easy CD-DA extractor for extraction and conversions.
Usually actually, I rip to WMA lossess and then again to 320k LAME  MP3
because it's quicker than converting WMA to MP3, but when I want stuff for
mobile use or want another format, I use the batch convert functions in
Easy CD-DA.
