Re: old burned cd file in wav

I wasn’t suggesting that, but flacs are a more ad hoc, de facto standard than m4a.

Regardless, their tagging seems fine to me.

umm ...  do FLAC files not have "proper tagging?"

Not to beat a dead horse, but I’ll add this:

I would not ever keep a collection as wav.  I would do flac or alac.  Personally I use alac for lossless.  Both save space and allow proper tagging.  And with eac, u can use accuraterip to ensure u got a bit perfect rip and fix the file (to match what the online dB says) if u didn’t.

Also, I have read u can add crc checks to flacs, which are helpful for when u copy or clone files etc.  with a scanner, u can see if the new file has the right crc, and if not, it means some errors (degradation) occurred when copying.  Personally, I don’t worry about this, it’s typically so small ud never notice and it doesn’t occur often to begin with.  but it’s good for those that do worry.  I use alac so the files are basically universal with apple or windows, but I am pretty sure it doesn’t support that feature.

Anyway, the simple answer is rip to flac or alac and don’t worry about much else.

> > I ask this because we all know that if you burn a video to lets say a dvd and then use that same dvd to burn another one there will be degradation..

Sorry that I am late to the party. But, I need to correct the above.

If you burn the video to DVD-ROM, say a MKV wrapped video, there will be
no degradation. If you take that MKV file from the DVD-ROM and burn it to
another DVD-ROM, again no degradation. If you make an ISO of the DVD and
burn the ISO, no degradation.

You will only have degradation if you re-encode the video. If the video
was MPEG-2 and was DVD-video compliant, you could author a DVD-video and
have no video degradation. If you copy that DVD-video, you will have no
degradation. But, if you have to recode the video before the DVD authoring
process, you will have degradation. You will have NO further degradation
if you copy that authored DVD-video.

The key point is that you have to have recoding before you can have
further degradation.

All of the above applies to Blue-ray ROMs and/or Blu-ray authored videos.
