| *[[w:CD ripping]] is needed to bring CD on your PC
| |
| **I use [[w:CDex]], [[w:ExactAudioCopy]] might be better
| |
| **Ripping results in an uncompressed [[w:WAV]] file. Assuming you have a 60 minute CD, the size of all of the raw tracks should be 605[[w:MiB]] — 1411.2Kbps x 60 minutes = 605MiB.
| |
| *[[w:Audio data compression]] can be used to save disk space. WAV files do not allow tagging, so conversion also helps to solve this.
| |
| **[[w:Lossless compression]]
| |
| ***I use [[w:FLAC]] which is [[w:free software|free]] and [[w:open source]] software and has support in software players and also some hardware support. Some tracks were compressed to 30% of original size. Data compression flac/wav on average was to 42%.
| |
| **[[Lossy compression]], some people use [[w:MP3]], others hate it.

| *[[:Category:Audio editors]] - choose one if you wish to attach infos to your music files | |

| *[[Audio player (software)]]
| |
| **[[w:Category:Media players]], I use [[w:Winamp]], with FLAC library plugin.
