So I found an incredible 24bit-96kHz Vinylrip of the whole Tusk-album, and it just totally brings back the warmth of the first months of listening to that album in 79.

The files are huge. I downloaded the flacs, and it was 1,3 GB.

Now I've converted them to wavefiles: 2,38 GB.

I'm not an audiophile, but can I burn them on 4 cd's and keep the quality, or do i have to burn it to DVD, because it has that qualityformat? I can't play a dvd in the car or on my normal stereo, so what's the right way to handle these files?

I'm not 100% sure but I think if you want to keep them at such a high resolution you'd need to burn them to DVD. CDs can usually only handle 16bit/44.1kHz audio files so if you do that you'll lose something but hopefully not too much. I doubt that almost anyone could tell the different between 16bit and 24bit in their car so that might be much of a problem, but I'm not sure how to get round it for your normal stereo other than maybe hooking the speakers up the a DVD player, but that might not be worth the hassle.

Read your e-mail just now Gerald. I'm afraid there's nothing you can do except what Peestie says. Or get a good turntable again, of course.
