FLAC is your friend. a...@wopr:~/Music/Jesus Jones/Doubt$ ls -hl 3* -rw-r--r-- 1 alan alan 23M 2010-04-04 20:33 3 - International Bright Young Thing.flac -rw-r--r-- 1 alan alan 33M 2010-04-04 20:33 3 - International Bright Young Thing.wav Not a massive difference, 23M FLAC vs 33M WAV, but it helps, and is lossless. I use Rockbox on my media player, which plays FLAC just fine. Cheers, Al. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
