But as im a DJ in the youth club all my music ( Orignal Cd's ) Getting scratched all the time..but i like to back them up for my own use...

Its a Good Load of CD Singles
(1000 in total after collecting them for 10 + Years )
that need to be converted into Mp3

I Use AudioGrabber which is a good programme but ...

Which is the best to use?

Sweet, I can access the .co.uk page, but not the .com from college

Anyway, I use 320kbps, but it depends on the music. Anything with a wide frequency band needs a higher bitrate IMHO. Also, on 320, you can still get around 4 to 5 albums [more if they are below 74 mins] onto a CD.

128kbits gives cymbols which sound rather 'fluttery', and distorts the guitars into one big mess on my Iron Maiden collection

[which is now at 3.9 GB of mp3]

Anyway, if you are going to be DJing, I'd DEFNIATELY go no lower than 256. Once you push the volume up, you WILL notice some major distortion on a 128kbit!!

Meh.. when you hit 24gb then i will start worrying. 23.9gb is my current collection which gives me nearly a thousand hours of music. and no there are no duplicates on this list 8O

Uhh....you do realise that thats just for Iron Maiden?

You forgot AC/DC, Judas Priest, Ozzy [Solo + Black Sabbath], Whitesnake [for dad, not me ], plenty of other weird stuff.... I have 33gb of MP3, which I build up and share over Direct Connect.

So I have to buy a new 240gb HDD just to store all of my DVD Images and MP3 and other audio on. Mind you, a friend of mine at Uni has about 3 terabytes.....THATS when you start to get problems

I do have some duplicates, the reason being that some are different bitrates, i.e on Edward the Great, the track might be 160kbits [for my MP3 players], but might be 320kbits on Piece of Mind [Flight of Icarus being the track in question...]
