You must be doing something like lossless WMA or other. I just use CDEX and get about 10 to 14 CDs onto one MP3 CD for the car.
Very very odd to use WMP in my opinion... The digital rights management alone has me rarely try this software.

I am in the process on ripping my cd collection to my hard drive but I am only halfway through I have already used 100gigs of space.
I am using the Windows Media Player, ripping to WMA Lossless as it rips cd's at 206 to 411 MB. There is also a choice of WMA variable bit rate (105 to 155 MB),WMA 86MB (192 kbps), or MP3 57MB (128 kbps)
I know the higher the MB the better the sound quality but will I ever notice the difference? Which sould I really be using?
