Ärende: Re: Sony CDs - No rip to Ipod from PC
=============================================
From: "Glenn Meadows" <gmeadow@comcast.net>

Quality wise, YUCH!!!!!!

So, we're going to take data-compressed WMA's (who knows what bitrate they're
done at), and blow them back out to 44/16, with all the quality loss in GOING
to WMA files, and THEN, we're going to RE-ENCODE them as MP4's. Yup, that's
really good folks.

Best bet, is take the CD to your friends house, and create your MP4 files
there, put THOSE on a CD and copy those into your itunes on your computer. (Or,
make them MP3's, and do the same thing).
