I was curious what others here use to listen to music on your PCs.
I still use Winamp to listen to high bit rate mp3 streams and my CDs but I recently started using Ubernet/Uber.org mp3 ripping process using EAC/LAME for high quality variable bit rate mp3s. Not loss-less like FLAC but one fourth the FLAC file sizes with 95% of the CD quality IMHO. I don't use cheap PC speakers but very good bookshelf monitors.
BTW I don't download or upload music but just use Ubernet's methods to rip my own CD collection for my own personal use.
Thanx to the RIAA and Sony's rootkits, it's almost impossible to play your own CDs on your own computer now days without a hassle or workaround
