Worth downloading?

I'm kinda half way through, but yeah. No doubt it'll f*f**k up my system, but yeah...

Also, on a side note, looking for a worthy replacement to Windows MP 10 and RealPlayer Basic 10.

Any ideas?

Wav is silly, they would be huge.

WAV... thats around 650Mb per CD! I really think theres no audible diffrence between an mp3 encoded above 192kbps and the original.

I've started ripping all my CDs to MP3 at 320kbps, but I think I'm going to rip them to WAV files instead.

Scrap that - WAV format doesn't have ID3 tags - obvious now I think about it! D'oh! 320kbps MP3 it is then.

Dunno, compreses better, in my experience, as well as a hardly noticable sound quality improvement.

But hey, it's all lies.

What makes AAC so much better than MP3? If anything, I'd say OGG is one of the best as it's totally open-source.

?

AAC ro>
MP3 is OK.

Shame on you Coin. :P

Yeah, I got SP2 the other day, and it's not bad. Few improvements that actually save me time, which is good - and I've not had any problems (yet).

Hmm, I reckons I'll be sticking with iTunes for music and RealOne Player Basic for vids.

Just too used to it...

iTunes for music, WMP/WinAmp for Videos.
