Everyone replied while I was writing that. Misc:
The Clarion does support long filenames and scrolls the name as it plays the file. Which is what you want. I have a CD ripper that will assign track numbers as the first item of the filename. So I've settled on a format for containing everything I rip. If I rip and convert Ivy's "Guestroom", for example, I wind up with a folder and sub-folder: \Ivy --\Guestroom -----\01-Let's Go To Bed.MP3 -----\02-Kite.MP3 -----\03-Say Goodbye.MP3 etc. That way, the albums stay together and in order, and I can select by album to burn MP3 disks. The filename doesn't contain the artist, but I generally know the artist and don't need that to be part of the scrolling filename in the car. Also, I've kinda settled on a bit rate of 160. I guess I should use that VBR but I wanted to know that I was ripping in a format that any player could play. I don't know if all players can play VBR MP3s. I do know that my flash player can't handle low bitrates. I started ripping at 192, but the file sizes were large enough to limit a single CD of MP3s to about 5 albums, and that's not enough. I doubt I could tell the difference at even 128 in the car, which is not the ideal listening room to start with, but you never know where these files will be used. |
