How do they sound if played in iTunes?

Or even in, say, WMP on the PC?

Can't think of any reason why 1 in 4 CDs would rip any differently to others unless they (or the CD drive) were damaged in any way. Well, maybe one - if the artwork on the actual CD is thick in one area and not another then it can spin unbalanced in some drives (if that makes sense) - or so I've read a long time ago.

        Yeah, AAC is reckoned to be better quality than MP3 for same bitrate (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Feb 8, 13:44:39
        
        I was disappointed by the quality when streaming (General Chat) - APB, Feb 8, 13:48:36
        
        You have a wireless stereo? Didn't even know that was possible! (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Feb 8, 13:54:28
        
        No to both those things. (General Chat) - APB, Feb 8, 13:58:31
        
        Ah, I see - you're wired from AE to the stereo and the streaming is from PC/Mac to AE? (General Chat) - BerlinCanary, Feb 8, 14:03:36
