[QUOTE="Raven, post: 1251590, member: 558368"] Time for a demonstration. =) It's not the encoding necessarily, but the ease of use and lack of jitter and skipping errors. I run dual boot and I've burned and ripped off both Windows XP Pro and Red Hat Fedora Core 3. I can say with complete confidence that on my system, Linux works better. Windows: * Open Cd Burning app * Set / confirm drive to rip from * Set / confirm encoding method / quality * Set / confirm filenames, ID3 tags, or manually tell it do download them off the internet * Start Ripping Pray you don't need to click the mouse, lose internet connection, get an IM, or anything else that will cause a jitter. Ripping on my system usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Linux: * Open CD folder (Equivalent of My Computer -> Drive D for windows users) * Open folder of encoding type I want (see attachment) * Drag and drop Because Linux uses as much RAM as possible, it will load the entire song to RAM while ripping. If I had more RAM, it'd do the entire CD. Because of this, I can surf the web, use IM, even [B]listen to the song [/B][B][I]as[/I][/B][B] it's being ripped[/B], and get nearly no skipping or jitter. It's also a lot faster. Usually 5 to 7 minutes for a normal length CD. [/QUOTE]
