if you want to share it here stick with WAV then convert to FLAC using FFE or TLH.
Okay, so I go Action -> Copy Selected Tracks, then it only gives me the option to save as .wav, which is good right? I tried that a few minutes ago and it said that about 30 hours were left. It's not supposed to take THAT long, is it? I'm using lame 3.97 by the way. And I'm pretty sure I configured the bitrate thing correctly for VBR. Should I use VBR or CBR?
