BEST MP3 CODEC/RIPPER!! Please Reply

[Papillon]

Dude, don't use MP3. It's going down as we speak (fraunhofer is going to copy protect mp3). OGG VORBIS is much better (and is native supported by Winamp5). Get oggdropXPD and encode with the quality-6 switch. It produced a VBR-170kbps file at the same size of a CBR-160-kbps MP3. OGG is also, unlike MP3, gapless. In other world a much better choice for streaming and mix-cd's.
