sky140885 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2009 Hi All, I'm very new to this whole audiophile thingy, and had read through as much as I could in this forum. However I still do not understand certain things, please pardon my ignorance. I just got a new notebook - HP Dv6 entertainment notebook. I only use my notebook mainly to listen to music and i'm actually quite particular about sound quality. First, I have an extensive library of mp3 songs, how can I convert these to FLAC? Is ripping from the CD the only way to get FLAC format? Any other alternatives for me? Next, any recommended media player as I have been using Window Media Player all this while? Lastly, come to speaker, I have read about some 2.1 speakers in this forum, and where can I find Aego M and how much is it now? How about Creative T20? Actually, sound quality is important for me but I do have some constraint on the space on my desk. Thank you all for your help and time! Best, Sky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

viscy 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2009 you might not wanna rule out 2.0 alternatives like the A2, they're small and good too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any other alternatives for me? Only way unless you manage to get a download for it. Next, any recommended media player as I have been using Window Media Player all this while? Some use foobar2k, some iTunes, some wmp. Depends on your preferences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
