Since a CD can hold 640Mb, and I am at 222 songs in 614Mb (av. 2.77Mb), I could actually fit approximately 231 (640/2.77=231) songs on one disc!! I think that being able to put that many songs on one CD is enough to put up with the almost inaudible loss of quality from mp3 compression.
Wha' Cha' Need:
| Macintosh |
Windows |
| There isn't currently an .mp3 player for 68K macs (Which is what I have at home. Ugh.) So you need to have a PowerMac to play them. As soon as there is one (MacAmp says they'll play on 68K macs eventually) I'll put the info here.
Kdegraaf has made a great page that has all of your answers for the world of Mac mp3's. Software reviews and usage instructions. You can't live without it!
|
Well, the mp3 players for PCs seem to cover everything from DOS through Win NT. Since the compression engine was originally a UNIX thing, players seem to be available for just about any platform you can think of.
As far as I can tell, you would be best off to have a processor of at least 100Mhz, but if anyone can give me more of their experiences with this on the PC platform, let me know.
For ALL of the answers to your PC questions you NEED to visit www.mp3.com. Mostly PC based, they have reviews, links to software, how-to instructions EVERYTHING.

Software
Since I am a Mac user, I have not tried or installed the PC software, and hence will not be able to answer questions about it.

- Audion 2.0 (.mp3 player, Powermac ONLY)
This is BY FAR the best player out there. They just released 2.0, with a whole bunch of new features. Just to get an idea, this application can play MP3s, CD's (With CDDB interaction), and Shoutcast streams. A bunch of cool faces can be used to change the appearance, and it will integrate with N2MP3 (see below) to make encoding MP3s a snap!
Other Players (From www.mp3.com)
- N2MP3 I used to have some apps here for ripping and decoding from CDs, but all you need now is one application. N2MP3 uses a great algorithm that makes perfect sounding MP3s, does it in one step, and even access the CDDB to get track info (That it puts in the MP3 and titles the file with!). This is the only application you need anymore!
Just in case you are interested:

(Sorry for the commercial break, but these guys have a very cool idea. They'll pay you money for doing what you are doing RIGHT NOW!! They are very serious about your privacy, and without much work you could make a COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH. Let me know if you sign up, and we might be able to work out a special MP3 deal as well!)
Now that you have all the software you need, you too can take your CDs, pick your favorite songs, put them on your hard drive, and do random play from only your favorites. Most of the players also allow you to make multiple playlists. Anyone care to trade Lindy lists? Just make a list of the tracks that you think are the perfect tempo, and let the player switch tracks for you. The beautiful thing about Audion, is that you can do this with a simple drag-and-drop!
Below are links to CDs that I have burned, from tracks that encoded off my own CDs. What is great about this is that I now have more music on a couple disks than I could carry back and forth, and all I do is put it on shuffle play, and I can listen ALL DAY, without having to switch discs all the time.
If you have done this also, I'd love to trade tracks from the discs I own (*wink*, *wink*) for tracks that I have done already. Just contact me with a quick mail about what trade you'd be interested in. Unfortunately, since it is ILLEGAL to trade songs from discs I don't own and you don't own (*wink*, *wink*), and that they are 2-5Mb each, I cannot put them on a server for you to grab.
