Help - Cd to MP3

I got Supermodified today and I'm trying to get it to rip
into 160kbps mp3's but the last three tracks dont copy
right. They end up with horrible noise randomly inserted
into the tracks. I am using MusicMatch Jukebox 7.10 And am
looking for a better replacement.

Exact Audio Copy is the perfect error-correcting ripper.
Unless your CD drive completely and utterly sucks, in which
case nothing can help you but new hardware.

Lame is the best mp3 encoder. I'd make 192k files if I were
you, or variable bit rate which will sound better and
probably give a comparable file size.

Is it just me or does "natureland" have no audio?

Listen To Fleetmouse!

But if you don't like Exact Audio Copy, CDex is another
secure ripper with a different interface. For mp3 encoding,
don't use anything but LAME. Get the WinLAME frontend.

sometimes the cd tracks lean over into the data when cd's
have extra's on them, try audiocatalyst, it's a dodgy ripper
but it seems to never pick up the extra info, otherwisae try
an analog rip just like fleetmouse said.

Yeah, EAC and LAME are the best choice.

agreed - And for optimal audio encoding you can specify
--r3mix in the arguments. It's an alias for a long list of
complicated arguments that enable better psycho-acoustic
models and quality settings so that you get the best mp3s.

I've found the "--alt-preset standard" and "--alt-preset
extreme" presets sound better to my ears than "--r3mix" with
some of the more extreme electronic tracks. But I usually
can't tell the difference with regular kinds of music.

But those presets create larger files than "--r3mix" and are
slower to encode. Try both and let your ears be the judge.

I don't meddle in presets, but anyway, if it has VBR in it,
it's ok :)
