    Quick question: I just got my Beach Boys Smiley Smile cd with the mono/stereo mixes. I've ripped it with XLD and the mono tracks are the same size and bitrate as the stereo tracks. I thought they'd be around half that.

    Is that correct?

    Just checked my 'Pet Sounds' mono + stereo FLAC rips and the stereo ones are about 60% larger than their mono counterparts...these were ripped by dBpoweramp at FLAC setting 5

    eg.

    Wouldn't it be nice (Mono) FLAC = 10.1 MB (10,632,345 bytes)
    Wouldn't it be nice (Stereo) FLAC = 16.3 MB (17,137,514 bytes)
    Cheers, Will

    Hmmm, same tracks for me are 14.1 MB on disk (14,109,409 bytes) mono and 17.8 MB on disk (17,790,718 bytes) stereo, ripped with XLD some time ago to ALAC. That's with artwork too, same on both.

    If it was mono so single channel it would be half size indeed.
    But you can’t have 1 channel audio on a CD.
    Hence you get dual mono

    Using XLD. Does anyone here know how to replace an old, low bit rate rip in iTunes with a new, lossless rip by actually replacing the file, but maintaining old play counts and such?

    I've just started to look at this little project, the software recommended in the OP is windows only as far as I can tell. I've had a go using Toast, but when its copied/converted it list the tracks alphabeticaly without track numbers, any sugestions for mac based ripping?

    My recommendation is XLD, X Lossless Decoder. There are others but XLD does what it should. Set up correctly it rips with CRC-checking and creates nicely tagged files in most relevant formats..
