| | CD Ripping / Storing I have a question for anyone that has some advice on this. I have somehwere in the neighborhood of 350 to 400 CDs dating back as far as 1980 till present day. I've been thinking of converting one of my old PCs into a storage unit of sorts for all my music. I figure it's easy enough to just use Windows Media to rip and store all my CDs as MP3s. Was just wondering if anyoen had advice on the best organization method so that I can easily find what Im looking for once stored. Any ideas? Appreciate any advice. -- Message posted via http://www.windowskb.com |

WMP finds album covers and shows them in the default view. I chose to rip all my CD's at the highest bit-rate WMP allows and in .wma format. I don't like the performance of MP3 files and I don't have a portable player anyway. The resulting files are large, but are true CD audio quality. If storage is not an issue, as in you have several hundred gigabytes available, this is the route I would take. Typical file size (depends on track length, of course) is about 15 to 25 MB. |
