    That's a lot of numbers.

      Summary: CD = ~100MB per 10 minutes
      DVD-Audio 2 channel = ~660MB per 10 minutes
      DVD-Audio 5.1 channel = ~1000MB per 10 minutes

      That's why you gotta love WMA-Professional with 5.1-channel sound.

          Much smaller numbers.

            Ouch... 5.1 channels are useless for music, though.

              I disagree, some 5.1 channel mixes are pretty sweet. They add another dimension.

                But they're rare.

                    Etymotic ER6 Noise Isolating earbuds. These will be my "active" headphones. They're normally $149, but I got them on sale for $89.

                    For home, I'm thinking about a set of Bose headphones. They're also $149, but i've tested them in the store and they sound really, really sweet.

                          They and the Bose ones I want are both among the top headphone reviews on CNET, too.

                            But why two headphones? You could also use the ER6 at home. The Bose probably doesn't sound better anyway. Unless you want something more comfortable than in-ear headphones .

                              Bingo. I don't find in-ear phones very comfortable, but they're best for being active. The Bose I will use to sit at home and listen to music, either from the stereo or on the PC.

                                Um, you are not talking about ripping, you are talking about encoding. Ripping is making a copy of a sound track off a CD as a .wav file. Encoding is converting a .wav file into another format ( .mp3, etc.).
