because of the large "cheap" storage possibilities we can obtain, it seems to me regular audiocd's are played best from a lossless format.
seems to be another gpl licence problem or am i wrong?
perhaps there are other problems?
anyway, would be very nice to be able to rip audiocd's in a lossless format.

wav's are lossless :p
there's no issue with ripping to a different lossless format - you just need to code up the encoder (or a suitable interface to a dll for instance). flac is likely reasonably easy to do, as we have a dll ready for this - someone just has to take the time to code up an interface for it. any volunteers?

Yes, that quote is the state of play.
To be honest, we're not really interested in using external encoders - IMO someone just needs to implement flac - we have libflac there ready to use.
Cheers,

Only option you really need is the compression level, right? Which nowadays is kinda meaningless for FLAC given that level 9 compresses faster than the disc can rip anyway on most machines.

Hey, give the guy a break, we use gzip compression on the forums to reduce loading times, maybe something got lost in translation.

Is there a way I can add FLAC recording support to XBMC? At the moment it only appears to support Vorbis, Lame and Wav. I therefore have to rip CDs separately and transfer them into the library - bit of a drag :-)
TIA
