That might be true at the moment, but give it a few years and things will improve; interconectivity, bandwidth & storage space are all going to get better so you will be able to slip them into your car no problem (im sure you could figure out a way of doing it now anyway) And if you get usb/firewire it should all be forward compatible for a good while...

Just as long as you're using the right software (lame for encoding & eac for the ripping) and have a fast enough chip you should never get any encoding glitches. It will take a ridiculously long time tough... but worth it in my oppinon. skism... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
