<DIV><FONT face=Arial>When it comes to ripping audio CD's from the standard
"Redbook" CDA - 16 bit bytes @ 44.1 kHz format to a computer's drive,
which of the (250+) codec's available provide the least amount of loss? I don't
care about disc space, just the best possible reproduction of the
sound from the original source.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I use flac frequently, but the "l" in flac is
questionable. After all, how can you compress data to <60% without any loss
at all?</FONT></DIV>
