Thanks for the reply, Jibbler - I have a stack of CDs sitting here waiting to be ripped - but I don't want to rip 'em until I know they will be quality rips.
Adster - WTF?

Okay, you want more? Its like this... I have a ripping kit that I've been messing with, and its very easy to use, etc... it will create NFO/SFV/M3U files automatically. The kit is designed to use EAC/Lame but it also include RazorLame (a graphical frontend for Lame), QuickSFV for making/checking SFV files, CDTag for proper tagging (tag and rename is ok, but we want to be consistant and uniform), and some short tutorials....Originally posted by CrumbCat@31 December 2003 - 14:14

Okay, here is where things get interesting... the "scene" standard (the rules used by ripping groups) argue that mp3s are to be 192 Constant Bit Rate. Some audiofiles will argue that VBR (variable bit rate) encoding is better... personally, I have compared 'professional' rips at 192CBR and 128VBR, and IMO, VBR sucks ass.
In order to see the bigger picture, you have to understand one small detail. The 'mp3 scene' has now made a committment in 2004 to make all thier rips VBR. This includes some major groups like FNT, RNS, aPC, and more... however, instead of a low quality 128 VBR rip, they are talking about either 256 or 320 for CD quality VBR. I'm not sure if this will increase rip size, or if there is any true benefit to their new VBR rules...:
So, uh, the rip kit is still coming.. gonna take a bit longer.. I have the new 'scene rules' but we are still working out some bugs... stay tuned...
