thanks
for the pointer.
i'm a winamp preson for what it's worth. even paid my green for winamp 5
pro. a very good little prog it is. Yes, i have used i-tunes, a while ago now
though, i think it had something to do with lack of support for the media keys
on my ms natural keyboard that put me back to winamp 2.x it was at that stage.
since winamp 5 now has ripping capabilities and can structure the files how i
want them i'm happy. i'm not after super high quality ripps, just nice enough to
listen to on the pc. for what it's worth, after
looking it as well, winamp 5 will rip acc and ogg as well. probably more with
the right codec

Hi Shaun!
Its AAC and yet another encoder technol. in the
world to make
your audio files smaller, while still sounding as
it should.
This one has nothing to do with how multichannel
audio is
processed in DVD streams.
out more on apple's contribution to lossless
audio compression,
if you are interested.
I don't know the details, I just discovered that
when using AAC
in i-Tunes I wasn't missing as much of the sound
as when
using MP3 even in highest quality setting. But
then again
its all based on perception and dus deception of
the brain.

i
thought acc was one of the surround sound formats on dvd's and the like?
that allows for 5 channels (or more probably) whereas your standard mp3
format is a single stere channel
i'm probably wrong tho
