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)..

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

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!

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)

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 |
