Ideally, you really want to extract to wave but the good thing about lame, is that it doesn't damage the file when it encoded at 160k and over, meaning, you can convert back to wave without loosing anything, well, almost  A commercial type encoder found in itune for ex. will kill it, can't concert back to wave without affecting the sound

If the same bits are in the file, there is no way sound quality can change. If you are suggesting there is some sort of black magic going on here, fine -- I will adjust my opinion of what you post accordingly.
The encoder produces a stream of bits which are saved in a file. If the bits are the same, the sound is the same.
There is simply no difference.

P.S...Windows xp NTFS...external HD formated in NTFS...Personaly I don't do anything in fat32 or fat at all...Unless it is a requirement, then I find another solution as to not have to use FAT...It has been our experience in the store (computer Store) that Bits...and or files can become corupt in any format NTFS is more secure and stable in a particular environment. Just my 2 cents...thanks again!

And you are correct, NTFS is also more secure  FAT32 is mostly used in a multitrack studio setup on an external or seperate drive to store the 24 bit/192k files. In your case, NTFS is in fact the good choice

Sometimes it's so easy to forget what you know.
During this discussion of the creating process in ripping a disc, since I had ripped one lately, I forgot altogether that I have burnt discs that will work perfectly in one device (player) and not at all in another.
So, the player itself could be a factor in determining what we believe is working and what isn't in terms of performing a rip!
