- 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)
FLAC is very widely used and is superceding Shorten (e.g. downloads of live Phish concerts are available in FLAC because it is cross-platform).
And a bit off topic:
- Any Good Free (as in beer) CD rippers for windows which
compress to FLAC or simmiler
The best cd-to-wav ripper for windows is EAC (Exact Audio Copy) without a doubt. For encoding, EAC also supports many external encoders or there is mkwACT which is what I used to use.
To be honest I am now behind the pace for this topic but the very best place to go for information is the etree website - I'll leave you to google for the url. This is the central intenet resource site for people who trade live concert recordings at very high quality. If you want to know about tools for loss-less compression and accurate cd copying, etree is the place to go.
