Thats the thing about mp3 they are an inherently "lossy" compression scheme, each time you reencode them they lose fidelity and less true to the source from which they originated. Another thing that sucks about mp3 is that the format includes something like .25 seconds of silence at the track breaks so when you are listening to a show you get those annoying hiccups between songs. If I were you I would look into the more stable compression formats that are out there such as SHN and FLAC. . .

Have any of you run into the problem of finding your mp3s to be chopped off at the end. I have several mp3s of my original material that are missing the ends and I can't figure why. They used to play fine but after being moved around a few times they seem to loose the last few seconds. It worries me. Will, over time, all mp3 files shrink to nothing if they're moved?!?

.25 seconds of silence at the track breaks so when you are listening to a show you get those annoying hiccups between songs. has anyone noticed that some encoded songs lift the volume at the .25 start of a song (audiograbber seems to do this with all formats - not just with burst copy option).
bill Live like you dont know death, Love like you've never been hurt, Dance like no one's watching!! --==themode2k==--
OGG? I think this has come up b4? the compression isnt what it should be the format seems less stable on some platforms (p4 and above in windows os) tham mp3. But im getting interested in WMA @ the moment bill Live like you dont know death, Love like you've never been hurt, Dance like no one's watching!! --==themode2k==--

WMA is an evil pile of crap, have you read about the people who lost their entire music collection when windows died on them and they didn't know they needed to backup the key to decrypt their audio?! .ogg rules because it has a nice free license and works on all platforms.

Hmmmm.... i have a key gen (several) for WMA studio and for interest really and therefore everything is free, ive never paid, bought for anything so i guess im lucky(?) or dodgy(?) or both... yiiiiippppeeee. bill Live like you dont know death, Love like you've never been hurt, Dance like no one's watching!! --==themode2k==--

no, you are missing the point, later versions of windows media player when ripping music from CD will encrypt and digitally sign the files it creates with a key. If your disk goes *boom* and you have a backup of your music but not the key then you lose ya tunes. It is a "feature" of the file format I personally wouldn't want to use a media format that has the potential to stop you listening to *music you own* or have purchased... Tis also another reason why microsoft suck. -- jabberid = quinophex@jabber.earth.li AFFS || http://www.affs.org.uk/ || Not a filesystem
Free Software is about freedom. It refers to the freedom to share and modify software. all software is free... wadda ya mean ppl pay for that shit? nah get out of here!
