The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 My MP3 player won't play WMAs, but that's what ripped CDs are, so ironically I can only use my player for illegal music. Is there like some way I can change all these to MP3s without compression or any loss of fidelity? Or do I have to re-rip hundreds of CDs? I don't feel like doing that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest InuYasha Report post Posted February 20, 2006 I use a converter from a company in Australia called Wavepad. There are two versions: paid version, and freeware. The freeware version seems to work fine on it's own. http://www.download.com/WavePad/3000-2170_4-10382895.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point was that if I make an MP3 of a WMA, that's two rounds of compression, and it's pretty easy to tell by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detox 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 Use Exact Audio Copy http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ Then use LAME as a compressor http://www.free-codecs.com/Lame_Encoder_download.htm You can use that and rip in VBR, that saves file size and you will not lose any quality.
