[OT] CD to MP3

[Tharkun]

Not to bust a bubble but you can get the same quality music that MP3 gets at 128Kbits but using Ogg Vorbis you'll get around 64Kbits (meaning more music).

Just thought I'd point that out. Yes I only rip things in .ogg format

It might be worth noting that this a little more than an individual opinion. In the last shoot-out which included mp3, mp3pro, real and even microsofts version 9 beta, ogg won, handily even. Appearently some of the audiophiles involved in the shootout mistook the ogg at 128 for the uncompressed samples. However, my car stereo doesn't do ogg, it does mp3. Though with thompsons screwy licensing it's not inconcievable that we might eventially get ogg car audio gear that doesn't have intel inside (esspecially when you consider there's now a method to do ogg on chips that don't do floats). Should this of course come about I'll be pissed, as my stereo does mp3.
