Rip as a wave file with any program you use, this is no compression. I use Music Match but don't know what program is best so can't help on that. MM works fine for me.

Good ripping program - no compression
I'm thinking about buying a 200GB external hard drive a ripping about 300-400 CD's to it. I do about 80 percent of my listening while sitting in front of the computer and am getting tired of shuffling CD's. I'm looking for suggestions on a good program to rip with but I don't want to use any compression as I wish to compromise the sound as little as possible.
System:
P4 2.8ghz
M-audio revolution sound board
monarch SM70 class a amp
B&W LM1 monitors
B&W sub
Thanks,

The program generally considered the best for ripping CDs to hard drives is a free one called Exact Audio Copy, or EAC. It is slower than most rippers, but has the best sounding results. I tested it a year or two ago with some other rippers and could hear the difference. Their home site is http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ Other good info on it can be found at http://www.etree.org/eac.html Roger |
I wondered into a really interesting Cd store a while ago where the owner had parts of songs from every Cd in stock in his computer. He used his computer to demo and all he had to do was start a conversation with a customer to sell a bunch of CDs. The service was so excellant that he had to be doing quite the business. This does not help you but it does make for a great story, expecially for those who think that storefront sales are a thing of the past. Viva l' computer! |
