Please share your insights. > John LoveLearn > i just don't download anything but wma, that's how i deal with things. if it's possible to get something in mp3 i do. anything that ain't possible to get, i rip it myself. if i can't rip it myself, OR get it as mp3, i probably don't care enough to go to the bother of listening to a bad reencode of it. if you MUST reencode stuff, output the wma or whatever to wav, then encode to mp3 with lame. i reckon you can just do a straight 1:1 conversion bitrate-wise. depending on the source codec, that might vary, but for wma that should be sufficient. i think dbpoweramp will convert 'em, but i'm not sure because i don't do that kinda stuff. :) Received on 2003-10-22 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
