From: Sarai <bucc7465_at_bellsouth.net>
Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2005 11:44:50 -0500 One CD has 11 tracks, one has 13, one has 16 tracks and I forgot what the other has. I haven't changed any of my rip settings but some of the files are 10.3 MB for example. That's not the size of every track though. -----Original Message----- From: rockbox-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se [mailto:rockbox-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se] On Behalf Of Manuel Dejonghe Sent: Saturday, October 08, 2005 6:22 AM To: Rockbox Subject: Re: More on my CD ripping/archos problem BTW, Sarai: How many tracks have been on such a cd and how big are these files now ? manuel On 10/8/05, Magnus Holmgren <lear_at_algonet.se> wrote: > Sarai wrote: > > > Now this is interesting.
