Wmp 11

[mens_sana]

I downloaded it and am using it to rip around 4500 CDs to my hard drive. I like it, especially the revamped Library. BUT, while WMP 10 would let me enter initial CD info or edit online info during the ripping process, WMP 11 won't. So I have to enter the info, often for a pile of tracks, THEN sit here while it rips — and it ain't ripping fast!

Anyone have any ideas? Does anyone know how I can email the WMP 11 project about this?

for such a large job i wouldn't use something as crappy as wmp, let alone something in beta stages-- use CDex instead

I have been using WMP 11 in order to rip to WMA Lossless. I wanted to get as near to the original CD quality as possible.

[anonymez]

recommend FLAC or Wavpack instead, both lossless, better compression/speed & support. i prefer FLAC.

lossless means perfect quality, identical to the source

Thanks, I'll try FLAC and WavPack. It looks as if they might be more 'lossless' than WMA.

Lossless is lossless. It either is or it isn't. Although WavPack can do hybrid where you have a lossy file and a correction file. Combine the two and you have lossless, with just the lossy file you have a smaller file that given a high enough bitrate is still transparent.
