do they rip audio CDs? coz i opened them and they dont make any sense to memuzikool said:OK, then I'd encourage a lossless compression. Check out Monkey's Audio or Shorten.
iPods don't support WMA's, bud.Johnny said:not all portable mp3 players will support anything but mp3, wav, or wma's. I think an IPod is the only one that will play all mentioned plus a few others.
O.k I wasn't sure if it did or not. I know it supports a few others ..NetRyder said:iPods don't support WMA's, bud..
AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless, WAV and AIFF (which nobody really uses =P)Johnny said:O.k I wasn't sure if it did or not. I know it supports a few others ..
I thought non-protected WMA was added recently?NetRyder said:iPods don't support WMA's, bud.
If you're going for portable media device compatibility, MP3 is probably the best way to go. Works on anything.
iTunes can import music from Windows Media Player, MusicMatch and any other app that uses MP3, AAC or WMA (unprotected). iTunes 4.5 will now convert files digitized by Windows Media Player in unprotected format to AAC, so you can use them in iTunes or on iPod.
Nope, when u burn them to cd u just remove the gaps, and burn using the disc@ once method and it will have no gaps, also in winamp get the mp3splice plug in, but thats just anything that plays in winamp has a gap not just mp3'sJohnny said:The only thing with mp3's is that if you get a cd that continues through tracks, like a live cd, you will always have gapps between tracks. the only way around that is to use something like ogg.

I use EAC and ripp mp3's at --preset insane, or 320 cbr. It sounds really good. The only thing with mp3's is that if you get a cd that continues through tracks, like a live cd, you will always have gapps between tracks. the only way around that is to use something like ogg.
Also - If you are looking at lossless, MP3Pro is good to look at, as well as FLAC ..
Pfft...lossy -> lossy = very lossy. Bad idea.Xie said:*edit* - ok it seems iTunes converts them so you can use them on your iPod
