Double Post!

That means Double Beers ! !

Anyway, Pauls EAC topic is pretty cool, im not gonna ruin it, maybe UnPin it tho.
In fact, i got the same topic in my HaredDrive for OffLine browsing.

Im thinking of collecting all the Cool Posts about different Rippin'-Software to
into a one Pinned Topic.
It should be easy place to for any Newbie to start His/Her Collection.

Probably im going to add few words about Orange CD (or maybe FC could make a post)
and SoulSeek.

Woah, nice one CC.

So, question is, do we need 2 different Guides now?
Pro and n00b?

Or, i could add the Pro Comments in the later of the Pinned...
Like Pauls and CrumbCats post here...

Like I have been saying.Just because one Person says it is a certain way.Why is that the "PRO" way?

There is no best way.I do not care what anybody says.It is all up to that listener really.

CBR or VBR.As long as it is over 192 it is good.Ohhh sorry.192 was last Year with us.This Year is 224 or 256.Next Year 320 and then we are done.

*Sorry.Turning this back into a debate.But it is a debate on this Sticky.*

I do think we need a Beginner's guide as well as an Expert's guide.....I have seen too many old-timers using various crap programs for ripping, thinking they know best just that just because they have been around the MP3 scene for years.......that is why I posted what I did.

And, some n00bies are actually well educated, intelligent individuals who would rather start out with the good stuff (the expert guide) and not waste their valuable time with anything labeled 'beginner'.

Ok, i'll Pin this one now.
Lets see if its gets too Long & Difficult for New ppl,
then we can "debate" again what to do.



Damn im trying to get on the SS and cant get the Network happening on the other pc....
Might have to to HardwareWorld also... (need to create account..)

think its already been explained that EAC isnt a n00bie friendly proggie,
but ppl can still learn it, so its up to you GS B)

CBR or VBR.As long as it is over 192 it is good.

not true...xing encoded 192 is still shite, trust me
now lets all STFU (wit teh luv ) and let GS clean this one up B)

because regular kazaa users can only get search results for mp3&#39;s 128kbs and lower
and VBR shows up in kazaa as 128kbs

i used to get 160, 192 etc. search results...
not too often, cause theres not that much HQ stuff on kazaa,
but they were out there.....

regular kazaa users have the registry setting:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER&#092;Software&#092;Kazaa]
"LimitBitrate"=dword:00000001

and don&#39;t get any results over 128kbps for mp3&#39;s

[FuNkY CaPrIcOrN]

Sorry if I am getting this wrong.But some People are saying VBR is the better way.And that should be the "Expert" or "Pro Guide"?Why is that?

Like I said.Sorry if I am misunderstanding People here.

[FuNkY CaPrIcOrN]

Just to Point something out to People who read all this.

We are here to discuss a question by considering opposed arguments.

Debating&#33;

[CrumbCat]

No apologies necessary FC, you have a valid point.

I&#39;m not trying to say that what I posted is THE expert way, I&#39;m just saying that&#39;s what the Scene Standard is. The people who belong to the Biggest, most well established ripping groups have been ripping for many years, and apparently have lost of time on their hands to figure this stuff out - so I for one am happy to take their advice - it&#39;s up to each individual to decide for themselves what they want to do, hence my previous words:

So, that&#39;s it, take it for what it&#39;s worth. My hope in sharing this information is that from this point forward, everybody&#39;s rips will be 100% accurate, as well as consistent - nobody wants to spend time downloading a full album, only to then hear glitches in the tracks&#33;

This topic, just like every other one, is in essence, an open debate which generates information for those interested members to read and decipher for themselves. There will NEVER be a single method for ripping which will be agreed upon by everyone.

My intention was to share the information I have been fortunate enough to have received, and that it would be helpful to some.
