conversions of this type DEFINITELY lose quality
EAC -- Exact Audio Copy -- is the way to go --I rip to .wav's and then do what I please with the .wav's, usually .mp3 and .ogg
Keeping the standard HIGH is the key. The quality of the original rip is always the limit of the next conversion. Each compresion routine loses a qualified level of sound, but conversions from one standard to another must settle for the lowest common quality -- bad news for good music.
