FLAC files:
All around awesome program:
http://thor.prohosting.com/roh0205/
You can play them with:
Foobar2000 (
www.foobar2000.org, my choice)
Winamp (
www.winamp.com, with plugin)
iTunes (with this mod:
http://playlistmag.com/news/2006/07/11/ogg/index.php)
You can convert with:
Foobar2000 (have the LAME mp3 codec installed for best results, if making mp3)
Flac frontend (flac.sf.net)
MAC USERS:
use this:

remember, most tapers don't want you to make mp3s of their shows, except for personal use (your ipod, etc). You should never make mp3 files of a show and put them online unless the taper gives you explicit permission to do so.
