Hi Dana. It's easy to explain why you can't choose a bit rate. Flak, like WMA lossless, is a lossless format and so it automatically chooses the bit rate that will preserve the full sound quality. A variable bit rate is used to ensure the best compression and file size and so what you're seeing

Hi Dana. No, creating a lossy copy from a lossless master in either Flac, WMA lossless or indeed WAV, will not introduce artifacts in the resulting file. If you have the disc space, this is the best way to archive your CD collection. All your music ripped at the highest possible quality with the

Hi, It depends how you've got your winamp set up. If the output plugin in preferences plugins is set to wave output, the volumes will be the same. If you switch that to direct sound output, winamp's volume is independant of anything. Brandon Hicks Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: callto://reyuth ms

hi, The advantage of direct sound output is that you don't have to worry about your synth going louder than winamp, so you can, say, listen to music in the background. I believe that direct sound output has more configuration options than wave. Direct sound also takes up less CPU, I think or it mig
