WORK IN PROGRESS

Tools used:

• CDex
• FLAC
• Foobar2000
• LAME - http://www.free-codecs.com/Lame_Encoder_download.htm

Download and install CDex, FLAC, and Foobar2000.<br /> Download the LAME MP3 encoder. I just recommend extracting it to C:\Program Files\LAME<br /> UseCDextoriptheCDto WAV format.<br /> Use the FLAC front-end or point Foobar to flac.exe and convert the WAV file to a FLAC file.<br /> This provides the same quality, but at just over 70% of the size. Now that you have them stored in a lossless format, you can convert them to a lossy format that is much smaller for use with portable devices.<br /> I generally just use Foobar to go to a 192kbps MP3. This takes the file to roughly 8-10 MBs.<br />
