Thread Name: Tech: Converting CD collection to MP3
Subject: RE: Tech: Converting CD collection to MP
OK - Heres an interesting question for you sound file boffs. Well, interesting to me anyroads...

The CDs I have converted so far have played fine. I only listen to MP3s in the car anyway so the quality is not paramount but they have been fine anyway. Until I played 'Bagrock for the Masses' by the Red Hot Chille Pipers yesterday. If you hadn't guessed they are a pipe band with attitude. The pipes come across fine, as does most things, but the drums are really odd. imagine the type of drumming you get with a pipe and drum band - Loud, a lot of it and often very quick at times. It comes across as noise, almost like static, on the MP3s!

I guess it is something to do with the sampling not being able to cope but is there some way round it?

Cheers
