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

Nglazer,

What format are you ripping to? You may want to double check that because iTunes doesn't support all formats, like the very popular FLAC. Also, try and open your ripped files using a different media player. VLC or Audacious would be a good choice. They both play just about every audio format there is.

I'm not at home to check but if there is an error log check that to see if more information on what happens at the time a failure occurs.

Also can't hurt to reboot the computer just to make sure everything is running clean.

Also maybe make sure itunes is not running if dbpoweramp is putting files in directories it normally uses.

Not to say anyone else is wrong, but I've never had a problem using WMP ripping WAV and it sounds great.

Wildoats - it would appear that WMP does a very good job of ripping WAV
- I ripped one of my more detailed albums to WAV and I could not tell any difference between that and the same album ripped to AIF using dbPoweramp
- FYI both rips were performed on the same computer and then loaded into iTunes.

However - the one nice thing about dbPoweramp is, it notifies you when ripping problems occur and the severity of the problem by track.

I'm not sure if that feature is available with WMP.

Regards...
