How/Where Do You Download CDs?

[sumone 10+ year member]

I generally use EAC in secure mode to download the CD in FLAC (#8) to my G:\TempFLAC Folder. Even though it goes at around 4x, I like knowing that track quality was at least 97% (bare minimum). Once that it is done, I run a foobar2k mass conversion on those FLAC files to convert to a Q5 Vorbis file, and store ironically, in my G:\MP3 folder. My G:\MP3 folder structure is

G:\MP3\Classics (for oldschool R&B, Soul, and Funk)

G:\MP3\R&B

G:\MP3\Rap

G:\MP3\Real_Music (for Jazz, Blues, and Ethnic genres)

G:\MP3\Other (for everything else, e.g., songs like "Sweet Dreams are made of...")

G:\Classical (gets its own folder outside of \MP3\ since \MP3\ is actually stuff I listen to. I have to really want to listen to classical.)

Once I have about 4 gigs in FLAC, I burn those to a DVD and delete off the hard drive.

Hard drive is 80GB (80*10^9 bytes) that does not seem to be very dependable.

Typically Gauntlet is my primary source as he has good taste in music

Gauntlet listens to too much Hip-Hop //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Actually I listen to more jazz, soul, and crooning than you would think. I'm listening to Violets For Your Furs as I type.

Yea I know you have a wide variety as far as musical taste. Wasn't implying that you listen to more Hip Hop than anything else...it's just that every hip hop-related thread you mention another name I've never heard of //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

First names that come to me when I think Hip Hop are common sense, talib, and mos def.

Well, what you're talking about is 'ripping' CDs; (taking audio from an audio cd and storing it as a datafile)

But, to download music, I use IRC.

^ interesting info on IRC

It's a dinosaur, but there's no bullsh!t. No fancy graphics, popups, banners, cookies, emails. Think of it as realtime, live file-sharing.

I still use Bear Share and have NO problems with it. And very HIGH bandwidth. Most 5 -10mb (5-7 minutes) files take me about 25 seconds to download at most. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif
