- Whats the best Format for the shared Hard Drive
I don't know what XP uses but i would suggest vfat as linux does not yet fully support ntfs.
Kernel 2.6 supports writing to ntfs volumes, but I don't know which of the other features in ntfs.
- What is the best loss less compression for music which can be used both
in linux and windows (i was thinking FLAC but i havnt had any experince of it)
I would say FAC too.
I wouldn't know, .ogg always sounded good to me, but then my in car mp3 player of course only plays mp3s and seeing how I don't want 2 copies of all of my music I am a bit stuck.
- Any Good Free (as in beer) CD rippers for windows which compress to FLAC
or simmiler
CDEX http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/ (and best of all it is GPL so free as in freedom and free as in beer) It claims to support lots of different encoders so I am sure you will find something you like.
