Speaking of CD-rippers, I was wondering how many people have started using Ogg? Also if you're running linux, Grip and Sound-juicer work great (Grip for Gtk 1 and Sound-juicer for Gnome2)
I got bored and started to convert my mp3's over to Oggs. And was wondering how many people are doing the same.

converting mp3 to ogg is not only pointless, but stupid - it further degrades sound quality.
Re-ripping & encoding them is another story though, of course.

I agree with az, converting audio from a lossy codec to another lossy codec degrades sound.
About Ogg, it is a good codec but MPC is better, especially on high bitrate. You probably won't hear the difference with a walkman but on a stereo it is quite easy.System : ASUS A8N SLI premium, Athlon 64X2 3800+, 2Gb, T7K500 320Gb SATAII, T7K250 250Gb SATAII, T7K250 250Gb ATA133, Nec ND-3520, Plextor PX130A, SB Audigy 2, Sapphire Radeon X800 GTO, 24" Dell 2407WFP.

Yeah, but if you don't have the original CD's *cough cough*.... Actually has anyone else had the problem with MP3's becomming corrupted over time? They would just start to pop and sound crappy. (And no, this isn't after I converted them to Ogg)
Btw, I converted a few of them, and couldn't tell the difference.

leech,
Yes I have. I chalk it up to degradation of the storage media (CD's). But also being moved around from place to place (hard disk to hard disk) seems to mess with them as well.
This frightens me, because it does NOT bode well for the data integrity of mass-market hard disks!

Having just bought a 10Gb car MP3 player this worries me too, I'm getting pops and clicks just converting the things, admittedly off a DVD drive. Anyone else pick up that people say ripping from a DVD drive is a bad idea?Originally posted by Gurm

It's not the DVD drive, it's probably the settings. Are you using Exact Audio Copy? If so, did it know how to configure your drive?

I'm thinking that the data storage is corrupted too. In fact I first noticed this after I copied my friend's MP3's off his harddrive. (My harddrive had it's filesystem corrupted somehow....) and when I would play some of them, they'd sound pretty bad in parts.

Yeah it's possible bad blocks are to blame.

We've had this too - we even had parts of some of our mp3s in some other mp3s.. sounded really weird. You'd see winamp light up that red light next to the time display occasionally.
