I'm going to rip my cd's on flac, but there is a lossless encoding level on db poweramp. It's preselected 5, but is it worthwhile setting it to 8 or even Uncompressed?
What kind sound issues have you had with WMP. I could be overlooking it.I was having problems with some rips on windows media player, both in sound and track information. DB poweramp was recommended to me by some of the folks on here. I like the fact that poweramp displays if any tracks are ripped inaccurately, and it takes information from various sites to obtain the album info. Downside, you have to pay.
That is new to me.Some encoders will increase the volume a nudge
The song is probably mastered all the way up to the edge of peak level. Some encoders will increase the volume a nudge and when they do, they push it over the line into clipping.
