Question Compression Ratios?

Hello,

I am new to all of this and I am wondering if someone could give me some advice as to what compression ratio to rip the discs at. I'd like good quality and I have a 100GB harddrive. Thanks.

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.

Its like ants or Cockroaches.

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

LONMAN is the man here, higher compression more disk space, however higher compression better quality overall with fewer errors. When you can get an external 500GB hard disk drive starting at 60 dollars. Thats the way to go. I use 128bit compression, since I started that way.
