Anybody done and comparison tests converting APE to WMA Lossless?
And how does WMP handle gapless playback of WMA? Good or bad?
My entire CD collection is in APE + CUE format. I'm using MC's Theater View on my HTPC and it works great.
I'd kind of like to give Windows MCE a whirl, though. I have no desire to use WMP as my day to day media player, but for the HTPC end of things, MCE's interface looks really nice.
So, I'm wondering about converting all of my APE files to WMA-L. Theoretically there shouldn't be any problem or loss of quality doing this, but what if I want to go back? I really don't want a bunch of seperate APE files. I really can't say why, but I don't. Can I take a bunch of WMA-L files, stick them all back together into one big WAV file and compress it back with APE? Will that resulting APE still work with the original CUE? Maybe I'll give this a try tonight and see what happens.
I'm guessing WMP doesn't support WMA + CUE.
I feel like an enemy sympathizer all of a sudden.
