Is this a good system?

Currently I'm ripping my CD's to .FLAC via EAC.
I use dbpoweramp to convert/batch convert Flac files to mp3 (bitrate 320 kbps)
Then I utilise Media Monkey for its library and file orgainising facilities and to ID3 tag albums. I also use it as the place where I play files from when listening to music with my computer/notebook as my source.

Its decent but time consuming at times. Any suggestions for a better system?

I use EAC to rip to FLAC and Foobar for converting to Lame mp3, library management and listening.

Be warned, Foobar can be very addictive.

you don't need to use dbpower amp. i did the same as you, and use flac to listen to on my computer. to put on my mp3 player, i want mp3, so i just set up the media monkey to change any file with a bitrate of about 321kbps to mp3 kbps while syncing. works like a charm.

Nice one for the tip. I'll try and have a go at that tomora and see if I can get it goin. That would cut out an unnecessary middle man!
