So, what software do folks use to rip CD's at the high kbps rate that was mentioned a few e-mails back?

For the most part, vinyl mastering and production esthetics were more mid-rangey and compared to modern production a little "honkey" sounding. Compression and volume maximization aside, I prefer the broader tonal spectrum of modern recordings. I love Hendrix, but most of recordings still have that narrower range and less bass, giving the recordings a dated sound. MP3's of the same recordings sound dated as well. I understand the basics of high end interpolation and sampling, but still, I just don't hear it.
So I have no problem with MP3's and regularly listen to orchestral as well as dense, heavy material on two very different and high quality systems. Utility is awesome and I just don't hear the difference between "CD Quality MP3" and .wav files. I haven't had enough experience with AIFF to compare to WAVE and MP3. Call me insensitive. -m
