@frostwolf lol my first phone played videos in that format

@frostwolf techically it's just a container so there might be regular h264 inside

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

@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.

@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.

@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

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

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

@frostwolf I mean if the drive didn't give you the bytes stored on the CD it'd be pretty useless

@frostwolf well yes, reading music has a slight error tolerance since you most likely won't hear a flipped bit, but you would hear the drive stopping and rereading a part. Data discs have to be read accurately
