RE: [OT] Audio Ripping

["Simon Brazier" <zen17047@xxxxxxxxx>]

The entire collection that I lost was done in Windows Media Lossless - but
the only problem is that there isn't any media streamers that can play the
format. As I'd like to start having multi-room audio, it makes sense to go
for WAV as there are media streamers that can handle this format.

Having said that though, I quite like the idea of Apple Lossless mentioned
in one of the other replies, and using XLobby / Winamp as the front end.

Have you looked at any lossless compression formats?


With WAV each CD is going to take up 650Mb.

There are a number of lossless formats

FLAC
