Input Plug-ins and making mp3s

Bobster0108 · 19th January 2003, 16:24

First posting, so be patient.
Have Version 2.80 and am converting my own CDs to MP3 format using Chun-Yu's MP3 Writer plug-in v3.0.
In the input plug-ins list I have several plug-ins listed:

Nullsoft MPEG Audio Decoder 2.8a
Microsoft WINAMP/WMA plug-in v1.11
Winamp2 MIDI plug-in v2.63b
Nullsoft Module Decoder v2.2.10 Beta6
Nullsoft Vorbis Decoder v1.2 b7
Nullsoft CD/LineIn plug-in (CDDB2) v2.0
Nullsoft Waveform Decoder v2.05a
CD Reader v1.95

Question set 1 (of 2):
As I convert my CD files to mp3 format do all of these input plug-ins affect the conversion? Or should I disaable/remove some?
Looking for basic info on how this works.

Question 2:
I think that the output section works this way: (Am I right?)
Whatever item I select (and optionally configure) becomes the current output for Winamp. Is this true?

Thanks for help. I did search the FAQs and Tech support, unsuccessfully. Hope I didn't miss the answers there...

answer 1: only one input plugin is active at a time, which one depends on the file format

you have two plugins for audio cds, please disable one of them, it's described in cdreader's readme

answer 2: yes, correct

answer 3: for ripping cds or converting wav to mp3 or vice versa better use http://cdex.n3.net/

Thanks for the help.
Read the follow up stuff and now have a much better (or at least dangerous) knowledge level.
