Best Converter / Ripper to WMA
« on: Jul 27, 2011 at 06:39 PM »
I am in the process of building my digital archive and I have decided that the file format shall be WMA. Now, I would like to ask for opinions and sharing of experiences on which is the best converter or ripper of CD audio in to WMA. I am currently comparing dbpoweramp and Itunes. Does it matter? Is there any difference in sound quality depending on the converter / ripper you use?

Oh yes,  I almost completely forgotten about EAC.  But I will decide if I still need the Batch Processing feature of dbpoweramp to which EAC does not have.

@louie1 - Have you compared the ripped WAV files from EAC, dbpoweramp and Itunes?
