Which encoder should I use to rip my CDs?
• WAV (no compression) • A good choice if you hear a difference between compressed (lossless) and uncompressed (lossy) Kiles or if you expect to subject the recording to processing, e.g. converting to another encoding. • No metadata or cover art with Kile (which doesn't matter in Wax). • Incompatible with many portable players. • FLAC (lossless compression) • 2:1 compression for most recordings; 2.5:1 for classical. • Compatible with many portable players. • Ogg (lossy compression) • For a given bit-­‐rate, Ogg sounds better than MP3; for a given sound quality, Ogg compresses more. • Supported by most platforms. • Anathema to some audiophiles! 😮
