Interesting. Thanks.

I've been ripping with windows media player. Any recommendations for a better ripper?

I use EAC- Exact Audio Copy. It's definitely more hardcore than the average person needs, including features for testing the physical capabilites of your disc drive and having settings for detecting and attempting to re-read CD sectors that have errors, but after you set it up you can easily rip to .flac (lossless, technically the best format to rip to, but larger) or to .mp3 vbr0 (99.9% of people can't tell the quality difference from flac, and it's much smaller size).

I know EAC and have used it. Have it on this PC, actually.

I've been just doing quick and easy rips to flac with Windoze Media Player.

I'll have to try ripping to flac with EAC. Sounds like an adventure.
