>> also, remember that the CD audio is 16bit 44.1, so thats really the
highest quality you can extract from the source, and i personally think that
is plenty... you can extract at 16bit 44.1, and then import the audio into
an ardour session that is at a higher resolution if you need, but, if you
are taking a track from CD and the final destination is also CD, then i
think its a good idea to just keep the session at 16bit 44.1 for the entire
process (whatever that process is)... really just depends on the job you are
doing i suppose... this doesnt really matter as much, but i also extract
CD's to 16bit 44.1 .wav files, because thats probably what they are/were
going to the CD, but any lossless format at that quality should be fine, and
FLAC is a smaller file size, so, why not? right?...

PS i am +1 on soundjuicer, great application
