Hi John.
Ripping 350 CD's is going to take you some time and you're probably not
going to want to repeat the exercise again. Given that I would recommend
that you rip a CD a number of times in different formats to make sure you're
happy with the results before you embark on such a project.
If you have sufficient disc space, why compromise sound quality? It would
be disappointing a few months down the line to find that you didn't like the
sound of all of those ripped CD's.
For my part, I rip to MP3; yes, other formats are now getting better support
on portable players but MP3 is by far the most universal format. I use the
Lame encoder which is recognised as one of the top MP3 encoders. I rip at
320kbps. I have 160GB of internal disc space and an 80GB external drive so
what does it matter about larger files when you know that they are covering
the same frequency range as CD at this bit rate. Using CDEX or Notmad
Explorer, I can re-encode any of these files off to my MP3 player at a lower
bit rate and still have my master collection ripped at the highest quality
possible.
If you're really needing to get these files as small as possible I've
already seen some great advice from other listers but these are just a few
thoughts before you start ripping that music. I am about 75% through
ripping my collection of nearly 500 CD's and I wouldn't want to start again.
Kevin
