Hip Tip for Rippers

Not that I would know anything about this, but should you take the opportunity to rip the CDs of some friends make sure that you rip at the highest possible quality you can. Regardless of the disk space. If you mess it up you probably won't get a second chance and that means having to fork it over for the disks.

Ok, I know a little something about this. I'm re-ripping a large portion of my collection on Claudia because her sound system is so much better that I can really hear the difference. Well, two things really make the difference. The first is to enable volume matching which makes sure that all songs play at the same volume. The second is to use the preset equalizer settings, in particular the Acoustic setting which seems to bring the music right to the edge of your ears.

One last thing, the word on the street is that the Walmart website has the best cover graphics for those of you with systems that support assigning cover graphics to albums. One nice thing about Clutter is that it will go and get the cover for any song you are playing. You can then copy that cover and paste it back into iTunes so that you can have the cover offline.
