I like CDs. I will not stand for any audio with a lower bitrate than 1400Mbps. I have recently tried to rip my CDs in .WAV format, just because I want lossless encoding and playback of the files. However, when I try to play whole albums, instead of seamlessly transitioning into the next track, it will lag HARD and display the spinning "working" thing at the bottom of the screen. It will take 10-30 seconds to start the next song. However, if I just manually copy the .CDDA files off of the disc, the playback is seamless all throughout the album. It's perfect I haven't had my box connected to the internet, but I will soon. My question is, is there a way I can rip audio to the HDD in a format that will not have issues with seamless playback and in a way that will download all the CD info from a database when my box is finally connected? I mean, I guess I could wait for the internet and then manually find out through trial and error. But fuck that. If you guys have any experience in this, I would appreciate your input.
