Compression Ratios?

[Lonman]

Personally I always rip at the best - 192. Hard drives are cheap enough now days that even if you filled that 100 gb, you could get a new BIGGER one for under $100. No reason to skimp on the sound quality just to save a few gigs of space. How many discs are you talking about. I have nearly 1000 cdg's that take up less than 100 gb at this time.

Wiser words of advice may never have been spoken.

I would not go smaller than 96, with just audio I have 9,000 tracks on my hard drive. Another 9,500 kma tracks. I don't expierience any problems, with sound quality. If you fear a loss in quality you can always go without compression and run dual terabyte drives.

There is always another one popping up in the woodwork. Sometimes you've gotta smok'em out.
