Ziper - Can you explain your statement? ok WMP can rip music, however, it only does it in WMA format unless you install a mp3 plugin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BroChaos Veteran Posted August 2, 2002 Veteran Share Posted August 2, 2002 this has been asked a million times, but since the search function is a little flaky, we'll let you slide ;) use EAC or CDEX. nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 robinmthomas Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Without starting a war....WMA has better quality for the file size, so why wouldn't you use WMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Rage Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I use CDex as well. I find that it's got a really fast MP3 encoder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Fedr0 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Your hands. Yes, I'm serious. Just take the cd with your hands (one per side), then rip it apart! :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Fedr0 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Errr... Forget my previous post, I've drank too much yesterday evening... :s Anyway, if you want the perfect rip, use Exact Audio Copy and the LAME encoder. It's the best quality you can have for MP3s. If you want OGGs instead, use the proper encoder that you can find at Vorbis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 vraa Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I'm also gonna check out those links that yall threw out.. i've been using MP3 Strip IT... http://www.mp3stripit.com/ :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Hawk999 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I use CDex. It is simple and does encode in the Ogg vorbis format, LAME mp3 and wma [blech!!!!] It is free, open source and without add's. You can get it here: http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yazoo,yes i tried searching msgboard and i wound MANY exactly same threads with exactly same question and exactly same answers. as for being clever...i'm not so stupid to make same thread every bloody week with exactly same question. have even bothered to do some research before you mindlessly click "new thread" and post your stupid question? there's over a dozen websites that reviewed/compared different cdripers. and majority picked EAC+OGG/LAME as hands down winner.

0 cibbis Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 EAC and Lame is the BEST there is if you want accurate and HIGH quality results, use anything else if you want cruddy mp3's but for superior quality EAC and Lame is the way to go. EAC and Lame may not be the fastest but you have to ask yourself what do you want, a mp3 thats sounds amazing and takes a little bit more time or some mp3 thats crap quality and done so fast it barely takes time to read the sectors on the cd? I would personally take the slower and excellent quality over slow horrible sound. Tho I do understand that most have tried EAC but you have to configure it correctly thats where most ppl mess up with EAC which leads for unimpressive sound quality here is a site that will help you configure EAC and LAME correctly for the best sound quality you can get! http://www.ping.be/satcp/tutorials.htm try out EAC and LAME again with the proper settings and you I promise you will be supprised at the quality of the mp3's you create.
