Hi Chris The answer to question1 is yes, since you have Winamp Pro. To do this go to the Winamp preferences treeview (control+p) and find "ripping". Shift+tab from there, and you'll find a tab control in which you should select something like "ripping settings". Tab back past the tree view and close button, and there's a combo box which allows you to set the ripping speed, up to "unlimited", which means as fast as your system will do. Make your selection, shift+tab back to the close button, and press the space bar. As for question2, this is a highly subjective area of course. If I were you, I'd start from 128 bit, and see if you can live with that or not. Reg > >Hi there. I just purchased Winamp Pro and now I have a couple of questions. > >1.
