HI Rich,

The B2 will ALWAYS rip to WAV (that is the CD format). However, once ripped, when the B2 is idle, it will then start to compress the WAV files into the compressed format you have specified using the menu system. The default is FLAC. So this is a two stage process.

Hi Rich,

The compression setting is located in the front panel control at:

'Settings' --> 'Compression' --> 'FLAC'

But please note that the Brennan ripping process is a two stage event; in stage 1 the CD is RIPPED in 'wav' format to the HDD, followed by stage 2 when the 'WAV' files are COMPRESSED to the selected format.  The compression stage only occurs if the B2 is not doing any other task, and leaving the WebUI open counts as an active task and will prevent the stage 2 compression from starting.

Regards,

Peter.

If your impatient there is also the menu 

'Settings' --> 'Compress Now'

command

but then you must not do anything with the B2 or it will stop the compression and deal with whatever you asked it to do instead.
