    Media Monkey Convert Settings

    yeah, using V2 with a min bitrate of 192 is stupid.... also keep the sample rate the same (44.1Khz), its pointless to increase it to 48khz.... in fact just untick 'advanced settings' and use V0.... or if you really want value for your bits use vorbis

    Building quiet PC from scratch, what to get?

    I would go for something like: Mini P180 seasonic SII 380W PSU Samsung F1 or WD green power hard drives, however much space you want probably something like a Abit A-N78HD with a X2 5000+ black edition. noctua nh-U12P generic ram optical drives all seem to make lots of...

    Good USB DAC/ headphone Amp

    Is FLAC worth it..?

    Its worth noting that most mp3 encoders tend to cut off anything above 18-19K even at 320KB/s.
