@noiob Yeah, looks like it's regular AAC – which is good, because we told the PS3 to rip in AAC.

@noiob So ffmpeg can convert them to m4a without reencoding, it looks like!

@noiob Still, maybe we should start ripping in MP3 instead.

@frostwolf can't it do WAV or something else that isn't compressed? you can still reencode it later

@noiob hm! *pokes*

@noiob It does Not do WAV. Just AAC, MP3, or ATRAC.

@frostwolf technically there's lossless ATRAC but I doubt that's an option

@frostwolf why the heck are you using a PS3 to rip CDs anyways

@noiob 'Cause we don't have a disk drive. >,,>

we want an internal one, and our desktop needs a new motherboard before we can do that.

@frostwolf don't tell me your computer doesn't have SATA

@noiob It does not. Laptops.

We ONLY have laptops. We tried building a desktop but, well, motherboard was DOA and we have no income.

@frostwolf oh, what's wrong with USB then

@noiob Nothing, I guess! It does feel a touch weird getting an external when we want internal as soon as we can, but... we probably should.

@noiob (Unfortunately those /also/ cost money, so...)

@frostwolf I mean if you really just wanna rip CDs, the drives are dirt cheap, you could probably get a used one that works fine on ebay or sth

@noiob Oh, huh, nice!

That'd let us play Myst too. :3

@noiob $13 and free shipping? That is cheap!

Any downside to cheap no-name ones?

@frostwolf I mean they might be slower? honestly CD technology is just that cheap these days

@noiob Oh, speed doesn't matter much! =^.^=

@frostwolf on a PC you can even use exact audio copy to make sure you've gotten a clean rip

@noiob Ooo, cool.

@noiob Wonder if there's a similar open source thing.

@noiob We can rip data CDs (old games) no problem, right?

@frostwolf not with EAC but yeah, why wouldn't you

@noiob I dunno, just figured I'd make sure. >,,>
