Lotus24 · 22-08-2002

EAC to rip
Nero to burn
Winamp to play - what can I say, I like the skins, especially that Britney Spears one... Just kidding.

Jammin · 22-08-2002

robbie2002 · 22-08-2002

Lotus24 · 23-08-2002

It is free, like the best mp3 encoder out there - lame with the [alt preset standard] switch.

Get Exact Audio Copy here

Many sites have guides to help you set it up tp make perfect DAE rips.

This site and this site from a fellow Canadian I found a useful place to get started.

robbie2002 · 23-08-2002

Thanks Lotus24

I will download that and give it a bash.

I'm pleased it's free.........HaHa

Cheers!

MUSICMATCH JUKEBOX Version 7.2

if you ever stumble across mp3PRO it's great

file compresion of 96k mp3 with 128k quality. Read by all Mp3 and cd/mp3 players. Cool eh?

robbie2002 · 12-09-2002

Thanks Duronal for that tip.
do you know where I can download it as cheap as Poss (or free!)

Thanks
Rob

musicmatch jukebox is availiable for d/l @

musicmatch.com under the basic version.

this has the most important features. I would highly reccomend registering it it's well worth the money.

once you register you will recieve a reg key................

if you use a key found on the net beware that you are breaking the law---------easy to find, but ultimately your just pushing the price up for others.

robbie2002 · 16-09-2002

Thanks for the info I will probably try the basic version first to see what it's like for myself....

EAC and "Winamp 2" (I didn't say Winamp

)

2ndsign · 17-09-2002

musicmatch sound better then winamp
with dfx

Trondos · 18-09-2002

I see that noone remembers Cdex. Quite a shame.
It is free, easier to use than EAC, but worse than EAC on scratched discs.

What about CD-DA X-Tractor. It is free, and extremely easy to use.

To get the '128 kbit' quality, you need to have a MP3Pro decoder. Although older MP3 players/decoders will work, you won't be able to harness the improvements of the MP3Pro format.

GleaM · 09-10-2002

Well, Does it exist any official ólder version of it? I really don't want to mess with beta progs. if I don't know them well enough to start ripping... I will still use MMJB till they release a final version!

*ExpertTech* · 10-10-2002

Although EAC is beta, believe me its the best ripping utility around. Yes, better than most others. The best feature of EAC is that it allows you to rip in 'secure' mode. So you are guaranteed 100% quality (even if a track quality shows up as 99.9% or something, it just means that EAC had to re-read some sectors). No pops/clicks in your WAV. MMJ rips in burst mode (haven't explored any secure setting in it as yet).

There have been a lot of debates about which ripping utility is better and believe me most audiophiles will suggest you use EAC. As fas as the beta part is concerned, I think they're just playing safe. EAC is a fantastic piece of software.

KazaaLite / My DVD player which can play mp3 cd's connected to my DTS amplifier

GleaM · 10-10-2002

Gezzz!!!, the tutorials are enormeous!!! I don't really know if I will ever be able to get it work properly!
