1) Whats the best Format for the shared Hard Drive
I don't know what XP uses but i would suggest vfat as linux does not yet fully support ntfs.
Kernel 2.6 supports writing to ntfs volumes, but I don't know which of the other features in ntfs.
2) What is the best loss less compression for music which can be used both in linux and windows (i was thinking FLAC but i havnt had any experince of it)
I would say FAC too.
I wouldn't know, .ogg always sounded good to me, but then my in car mp3 player of course only plays mp3s and seeing how I don't want 2 copies of all of my music I am a bit stuck.
3) Any Good Free (as in beer) CD rippers for windows which compress to FLAC or simmiler
CDEX http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/ (and best of all it is GPL so free as in freedom and free as in beer) It claims to support lots of different encoders so I am sure you will find something you like. Adam -- jabberid = quinophex@jabber.earth.li AFFS || http://www.affs.org.uk/ || Not a filesystem
