QuoteWere sorry, you have exceeded your maximum number of licence issues.

So right, Ive rebuilt my pc a few times so Ill go pay for 300 tracks again and not download them illegally.

WTF caused that? Ive never seen anything like that before

Pete · April 07, 2007, 21:46:15 PM

Stuff I got from http://www.7digital.com/

Apparently you can only activate them 3 times, then theyre useless.

buy CDs instead of digital tracks

Pete · April 07, 2007, 22:10:24 PM

CDs last me about 2months before they get skipping, its a design on par with usb plugs.

I have cds dating back 15 years.
Look after them properly and dont clean them with sandpaper.

And anyone who pays for tracks instead of buying a CD is a muppet.

Purchase, copy to CDR, rip to HDD, keep the original safe

Then you wont lose everything when a HDD packs in.

I get LPs, then download the mp3s.

A lot of new vinyl albums offer free mp3 download codes.

Just listened to an album last night I got in 81. Sounded perfect, as theres no temptation to have them rattle around in the car door pockets.

redneck · April 09, 2007, 00:14:50 AM

since when do you have a car vinyl player? >_<

Exactly.

Another vote for buy+rip

I currently rip with CDex at VBR 2, 128-320kbps and 44100hz. Any reccomendations on improving this? I just picked reasonable sounding values, but I guess I could probably get better quality/filesize using something else

Clock'd 0Ne · April 09, 2007, 00:58:15 AM

Those should be fine if youre not after transparent quality. Id switch to using EAC instead of CDex.

funkychicken9000 · April 09, 2007, 01:02:56 AM

My computer had problems with EAC back in the day, so I went for CDex. Might give it another go though.

If youre a real anti-drm/open formats zealot/piratey king, then you rip to OGG, the format of champions.
