MP3 again

Here is the best answer i have found to quality copying and encoding a cd.
So far my test results have been excellent. If you buy a mp3 recorder like
Archos,Nomad....they are bundled with floosy software which result in loss
of sound quality and corrupt files. They take 5 minutes per cd versus below
takes 30 minutes. It makes no sense to build a vb app using 3rd party ocx
since i know nothing about sound....below is very extensive.

The bottom line is that almost all software, regardless of whether it's stand alone, activeX, dll,
etc., uses a codec to encode from one format to another. Some of the more popular codecs are
frequently updated.

If you really need to add these feature to a VB application the ActiveX wrapper that handles the
calls to the codec is really the best way to go. If you simply want an application that will do this
for you then Exact Audio Copy is probably one of the best rippers available (and it uses the LAME
codec). But there are quite a few good third-party programs that will do this quite well.

The link to the article though is a pretty good source of info.
