I did a little searching and didn't find anything, but i was wondering if anyone here knew how to make windows media player rip and encode cds a lame mp3 format. i know wmp10 comes with the franhofer mp3, but i prefer lame because i just do. so if i can or can't, please give me a heads up smile.gif

I've wondered for a long time if this is possible, but have never found an answer.

concerning your iPod, which I just spent the last half hour reading about. I can't believe it. My first mobile phone, a Nokia 3210, while not being a very sophisticated device, has withstood thousands of times more pressure than any of the iPods talked about on that forum. Dropped a few inches! Crazy, my phone has been dropped 8 foot from my loft, bounced off a wall, and then fallen down the stairs - to a tiled floor. With no damage! Events like that have happened hundreds of times, and while the phone is now retired, it still works. I've even gotten annoyed with someone I've been talking to on the phone and thrown my other Nokia phone, a 3310, across the road (I was drunk) into a block of flats (About 40+ feet away). It fell apart, but once me and a few mates found all the pieces, it was fine. My 3210 has even been used at my local ice skating rink as a hockey puck.. Without damage.
With advances in material designs and technology, I would personally expect an iPod to atleast survive a desk to floor collision (many times over), I'd prolly manage to do worse to it than that easily.
Must totaly agree the iPods talked about aren't living up to ther intended use in terms of damage resistance.

Maybe I'm tired. wtf is that reponse about?

lol, I went off on one because I spent half an hour reading about ml20's iPod troubles

4g ipods are poorly designed, to much pressure on LCD leads to cracking.
for example, my very new 4g ipod and all these people's ipods.
apple won't do anything for you.

yea, i sent apple a letter complaining about their poor design and that my cell phone has withstood many times the damage as well. hopefully they will at least fix that problem iin a 5th gen. smile.gif

I just had an idea about this.. What if lame was a registered codec in the system. Would that help?
I'm sure I've had mp3 format in WMP previously, but versions ago. Personally I have MMJB installed for ripping CDs.
Sinbad
http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ For ripping to WAV's.

Then any standard lame encoder font end for converting to mp3's. Or even command line if your cool enough.

Nothing else is better.

The only reason I want WMP to rip it is it does an excellent job of automatically tagging the mp3s. if someone could tell me another program that tagges as well as WMP, please do, EAC just doesn't get enought from freedb or whatever. WMP gets its data from AMG, if it matters.
Sinbad
eh, well, you could use Tag&Rename. You can get Tags from the file name and stuff, so it makes it really easy if your files are named correctly.
DangerousDave86
MusicMatch JukeBox will tag for you, and it's very good at it. But for it to be worth it you'd need a 'pro' edition as the free version only rips at 4x CD speed I believe

However, a cell phone doesn't have a hard drive, which is sensitive to shock ... A cell phone is pretty much solid state

however the ipod still is fully functional, except for the busted screen. sad.gif
so it having a HD doesnt really matter

at least you can make the screen out. My nomad, which had fallen down stairs, and off desks and was in my posket while snowboarding, fell 3 feet to the ground and cracked the sceen, The liquid crystals ran and now i can make out very little on the screen.
