    dbPowerAmp Rules!

    I was playing with some settings tonight, and figured out I can rip cd's to 320mbps! Now, the CD isn't even finished yet (can you tell I'm excited?), but hopefully this works.

    If it does, it looks like I have to re-rip all my cd's, lol

    edit: Yup, just finished Tool-Lateralus and they are at 320. Looks like I have alot of ripping to do!

    320mbps?! That would make it 40MB/second... I think you mean 320bps.

    Hehe, yeah somehow that 'm' snuck up in there. Man, I'm listening to The Grudge with my 212's and I'm hearing stuff (percussion mostly) that I've never heard before!

    I know what you mean - when I got these Sennheiser RS-65's, I couldn't believe how much new stuff I could hear (or how LOUD these can be when you turn them up!!! ).

    How're your Sportapros?
    I've heard nothing but great things about them but still haven't been able to try them out yet.


    By the way, XP1800, I'd suggest trying vorbis. It's much better given the same kbps than mp3's. You could also try using LAME for mp3's.

    They're quite good. The highs and midrange are pretty good and there's alot of bass. I used to think Koss was a crappy brand.
