InterSynth

RARBG really left a big hole in my heart.

I'd love to have everything in FLAC for preservation's sake, but I've settled for Apple's QAAC. Great quality, small size, universally supported.

I suggest you convert them to AAC with Apple's excellent QAAC encoder instead. fre:ac can do it just fine once you add the encoder. Much better and more modern format than MP3, and still universally playable.
