CD ripping?
I posted this question in the general section before I noticed there was a
section for music. I received a less than stellar reply, so I though I would try the same question here. I want to rip dozen's of CD's to a file format with the best quality and least amount of hard disk space taken up. Which should I choose, mp3 (128 kbps), wma (128 kbps) or wma pro at (128 kbps)? Any help would greatly be appreciated along with an explanation as to why a certain choice would be better than the other. Thanks in advance.

CD ripping?
Hi Mark,
I rip at 128 kbps in wma format for my two pocket size "mp3" players. 128 kbps is fine for mp3 players. I choose wma format in case I want to use the music in a Windows application such as windows movie maker or windows dvd maker/slide show. Wma format always works in these Windows applications. Recently I had trouble using mp3 format in WMM and Wdvdmaker because of a codec conflict from a 3rd party application. Until poster Zach had helped me clear up that problem I used wma audio files as a workaround. The final decision is yours. Try ripping at a few different rates and formats and decide which format sounds best to you. -- oscar  ....Right click is your good friend...

CD ripping?
Thank you for the reply. I ripped all my cd's with wma 128 and most sound
pretty good. I found this link, but for the life of me I can't tell the difference. Thanks again for the honest and complete response. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...userlocale=409 "oscar" wrote: Hi Mark, I rip at 128 kbps in wma format for my two pocket size "mp3" players. 128 kbps is fine for mp3 players.
