If you have the storage I'd suggest ripping them to a LOSSLESS format first, like flac
That way you will always have an exact copy of your music, formats change all the time, and the more you convert the more you lose. An excellent conversion program is dbconverter, it will let you go from flac to WMA or MP3.
The advantage of WMA is that it supports a variable bit rate instead of the fixed bitrate in MP3 helping you make smaller files.
The problem with WMA is that not all programs support it, MP3 is at least supported by every program and portable player out there.</font>
400+mb per cd! The secret is out! sccttc works for Maxtor!
