I'm after an iAudio Cowon X5. Apart from OGG it does FLAC. Indeed I suggest you ripping to FLAC. As a lossless algorithm you keep CD-quality and later you can reencode to OGG or MP3 if needed without the same loss of quality you get from encoding from a loosy to a loosy algorithm. I am planning doing the same, ripping all my CD collection, and I think I'll prefer FLAC to high-bitrate MP3. Anyway for pop music stereo 192Kbps MP3 should be more than OK. As a ripper, jack which uses cdparanoia and supports cddb is lovely and very lightweight as a console app. Cordially, Ismael -- Ismael Valladolid Torres "Il est vain de pleurer sur l'esprit, il suffit de travailler pour lui."
