The problem with onboard ripping and storage is I end up having to rip and store my music in two places.


Hi Matt,
I hadn't noticed your earlier comment...I've had pretty good luck using a Central to rip tunes, fixing up the tags, and then using the jEmplode "download" function to copy the tunes to my PC for backup or if I want to copy the tunes to my portable player.

I also find that the Central-ripped tunes sound fantastic at 256K, and when I rip CDs using other consumer products on my PC (like Easy CD Creator, etc.) the MP3 files just don't sound as good as the Central-derived files.

Did you have a different experience? Thanks, Randy
