Braytak Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Yes,it is correct that more Cd's are using anti PC play protection but this does not mean that you cannot rip the CD to MP3,there are many ripping programs that will overcome this problem. Indeed I have recently used Windows Media Player 9 to rip a play protected Cd to MP3. I certainly do not feel any guilt in doing this as I do not make these files available via P2P software. I feel it is wholly legitimate to make a back up of my Cd's especially if my only facility in the car is MP3. I do not want to store Cd's in the car. This is a hostile environment for fragile and expensive Cd's and Smart media cards are such an elegant solution. The only tip with MP3 is make sure that you complete the tag information, this will allow for better information display and make the search and playlist functions more intuitive. Also rip to at least 160kbs for CD Quality. The new MMI based DVD Sat Nav/Mp3 system seems to be a well thought out and sorted facility and if utilised to it's potential one would not need a CD player in the car. I think the Phat box system offers an excellent mass storage based audio solution for the after market and should still be a considered option if Sat Nav Plus is too expensive when spec'ing a new Audi. I hope Audi will make an MP3 based audio system available as an alternative to the traditional CD based systems. A sort of Concert III MP3 Option if you like. That would be a smart move in my view. Cheers. Gez...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
