Db Power Amp - is there a better ripper out there?


I had been using iTunes to rip for a long while but on those occasions when it failed I turned to MAX.

Then I heard about DB Ripper and the albums I've ripped so far have significantly better SQ than either iTunes or MAX

I also noticed the file sizes are larger with db poweramp.

Am I correct in assuming this is because all the data is now there?

Or is db poweramp augmenting the data?

So, if you know of better ripping software please post it here

Thanks in advance

Mapman, are you playing with me? That's not what I'm referring to and I have a sneaking suspicion you know that. Lol
Has anyone had issues related to ripping 16/44 content from SACD's

The first track always presents issues and go through the re-ripping process using dbPoweramp.

Subsequent tracks are trouble free

Thanks
I am having a problem with dbPowerramp, after using it for years. I am ripping CD's, they show up in the correct folder (iTunes), but there is nothing on them -- 0 bytes!

All the disc info shows up (artist, album, songs, etc.), I see it ripping and doing the checks, no problems are reported when finished, and it is set to put the rip in iTunes/iTunes media/Music, where it always has been set. It shows up in that folder, but when I look at Properties, there is no data!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Neal
Maybe its a cue file that you are looking at? Although, you have been using it for years and I'm sure you know better.

Sometimes iTunes seems like it has a mind of its own and sometimes does weird things. At least for me, anyway. Try ripping to a different folder that has nothing to do with iTunes. If that works, then you can just transfer the music to iTunes.

It would be a good idea to check how all of your software is configured. Sometimes, when programs get updated, they need to be re configured.
