I remember the first time that i found out about ripping and encoding, it was about 4 years ago when i was using WMP8 to rip my cds into WMA 64 kbps (Cold so cold
 ) and thinking that the pops and skips in the audio were part of the encoding. And then i found CDex (Great when your a newbie) and i was blown away i could rip my music without skiping and in 128 kbps mp3 man this sounds a hell of a lot better than wma. Then stumbling across HA and found that i was doing it all wrong i should be using "EAC (Secure mode) + Lame 3.90.3 --alt-preset standard" and i've been using these settings ever since.So how did you start in the world of audio encoding.

I was using Winamp and played with the diskwriter it had a lot, often trying to use LAME in ACM mode to make some MP3 WAVs to send over AIM.
 At some point I found one of the sites that distributed LAME binaries, and played with the various versions, reading the docs to find out new settings and stuff. And from there on, I came here some time later, and I'm now a foobar2000 lover. Makes encoding so much easier! I used the LAME VBS script to do it before...
