I've been using a combination of methods and it seems to work pretty well. I use PCDJ to scan the files and calculate the BPM then I load it up in WinAMP and count for 15 seconds then multiply by 4. If it's pretty close I just round the PCDJ calculation to the nearest whole number and store that in ...

"Best" File Naming Convention

I'm looking for some opinions on file naming conventions... I used to name everything "[Artist] - Album\[Artist] - Track". If it's a compilation album I would just leave Artist out so it would be "[] - Album\[Artist] - Track" which would put all the compilation albums together an...

Hmmm... you make some good points for VBR High... especially on older recordings. Why waste all that space? :p Well would VBR High Stereo or Joint Stereo be better? I noticed you said you used Joint Stereo. Is there a reason you chose one over the other? I want to make sure it sounds the most like t...

I was bored so I made a small spreadsheet. lol QTY 256kbps 320kbps VBR (High) 1 110,357KB 137,822KB 103,661KB 100 11,035,700KB 13,782,200KB 10,366,100KB 500 55,178,...

Thanks. I think I'm going to go with 256kbps but would still be interested in hearing other opinions.

"Best" bitrate to use? (128-320kbps)

I'm getting ready to rip and encode my collection of swing CDs to DJ off of. Up until now I've been encoding all my music at 128kbps/joint stereo but now that I'm DJing I've been thinking about encoding all the new stuff at a higher bitrate. I know all about ripping and everything... just wondering ...
