Ripping Commercial CD's
Guys...in ripping those commercial CD's...what program do you use?
I curently use CDex...not a bad little program, there was a more recent version of the program out, but found that the version that I currenlty use is a more stable version. I just thought I would ask, in case there was something more better, (for those who have used a lot of different programs).. |

i'm using goldwave right now. i can rip to the harddrive and convert at the same time. wave, mp3, ogg and all bitrates.

Ripping commercial CD's? Aren't those already recorded? I'm lost. Again. :o
Edit: Nevermind, my genie just informed me I was wrong (again). LOL. Anyway, I use AudioGrabber for that. :W: (I'm always backwards) :SH: |

I use cdparanoia (on my Linux machine), it's supposed to be one of the best. On the Windows side, EAC, http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ , is highly recommended for persistance. It can use any of your audio codecs for the output, or an external encoder, like Lame. I don't believe it comes with the lame library built in.

:) I agree with pod - EAC is the very best, imho, its results are almost indistiguishible from the original when using higher bitrates. What's more, it's free. What could be better than that!

I use EAC w/LAME

I use Easy CD Digital Audio Extractor.

It has to be EAC - no other ripper has built in error correction.
I share a lot of classical music and when I tried to rip a CD with Cdex last week the result was terrible - clearly audible artifacts on several tracks. EAC takes a little longer but the results are always perfect. I always rip to WAV with EAC then batch convert all the files to 256 MP3s in Wavelab or CoolEdit. Marius |
i use EAC or plextools. EAC is very good for ripping scratched or copy-protected CDs. plextools is good because it's customized to my plextor drive and already has all the offsets configured properly (something which can be a little tricky to do with EAC)

Thanks all :) |
You might find this site helpful, Jadesun:
http://www.ping.be/satcp/tutorials.htm There are some very good EAC tutorials as well as a quick start guide. If you don't fancy doing all the "offset" tests and calculations you can still get excellent results with EAC. Marius |

I'm not sure what the latest version is but it should be on the download page on the author's website at:
http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ Incidentally, EAC is not quite freeware, it's postcardware. The author likes to get a postcard from your hometown, which seems like a pretty good bargain to me. :) Marius |
