 Mp3 Encoder you use to rip CDs [and then share in Limewire] I'm just a concerned Limewire/P2P user. I noticed that many mp3 files on the Gnutella network are encoded using sub-optimal or low quality mp3 encoders. If you are new to CD ripping, this website will show you how to rip satisfactorily high quality mp3s from a CD (most experienced users probably already know what "high quality" is): http://www.users.on.net/~alexanderino/cdex/ The website will tell you how to use CDex (an audio extractor program) with LAME (a mp3 encoder engine). From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAME [Wikipedia] : Quote:

 or you just use the new WMP 10 and rip with that you can choose to rip to wma, wma variable bit rate, mp3. and you can tell the bitrate it should be (for mp3 and wma, wma variable bit rate calculates the optimal bitrate itself) wich works GREAT for new ppl aswell you know. i use something else entirely but that's just for me. |

| Does that version of WMP use the LAME mp3 encoder engine? Any audio extractor program that uses LAME as an mp3 encoding engine should be fine. Also I disagree with ripping to wma as wma's quality is considerably less than a LAME encoded mp3 of the same bitrate. More on LAME here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAME |

| wma files are much less universally playable than mp3's; not all audio programs can play wma files. wma is not as cross-platform compatible as mp3's. Not all portable mp3 players can play wma files. And then there's DRM. And particularly this concern: What you should know about WMA Files
