Interesting. Would it be terribly difficult to make the technical info more relevant/accurate? Perhaps something like... Bitrate: <nnnn.n>kbps VBR/CBR/etc. Sample Rate: 96.0 kHz (converted to 48 kHz) Sample Size: 24Bits Where VBR implies estimate/nominal/max/etc., and CBR means it's PCM so kbps is fixed/accurate? Thanks for the info!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rootee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70728 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114423 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
