Have a couple of CDs I want to rip to mp3s, and dunno what program to use. Don't want to use MusicMatch, but whatever, what programs do you guys use, preferably free download :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i use iTunes, but thats mac only. it does good work, i've never gotten a glurp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i use freerip cant remember the url though i think you can find it at download.com uhh, it's free |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oooh, what about Easy CD-DA Extractor 5.0.6 C|Net has it rated high, hum, more input |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i use musicmatch jukebox. you can rip mp3's up to a 320bit rate if im not mistaken. . .its nice(for pc) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
is the thing to use. It''s free and it works really well and it has no spyware or bullshit. I generally use it to extract to plain wav files then encode them myself with Lame or Ogg Vorbis. If you want to make Oggs there's a great drag and drop interface... you just drag your wav files onto the fish. If you want to make mp3s Razorlame is the shit. |

good call mouse, this is a sweet prog, ripping CDs now :) thanx m8 |
||||||||

make . They sound better than mp3s at the same filesize. use quality setting 6 for CD quality tracks unless it's death metal - then you want quality 8. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you want any sort of hardware support, don't make oggs. :-) But they are technically superior to mp3s in many ways. The best lossy compression format would probably be musepack, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
By hardware support, perverted whale means like an mp3 player or boombox that plays mp3s. But Winamp plays oggs so I'm happy. I was fucking outraged when I discovered the mp3 boombox I got wouldn't play VBR mp3s. |

oh fuck all these non free progs, even my 123 CD to Mp3 Ripper only lets you get the first five tracks without paying fortunetly, my Beethoven/Mozart CDs only include 5 tracks per CD, YEAH! |
||||||||

sorry,.. broken link there http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cdexos/cdex_150b9_enu.ex e?use_mirror=belnet |

Like fleetmouse said, use RazorLame or WinLame to make your mp3s. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And when using lame use the option: --preset standard This will encode using the best settings unless you have very good ears and very good equipment, in which case use: --preset extreme The extreme preset is definitely what you want to use for extremely fuzzy distorted music with lots of crunchy trebly detail. That way you hear every ugly snarl. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
use ther program I put the link to,.. it's the best, free program you'll find to make mp3's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, --alt-preset standard is good enough for about 98% of my CDs. There are a few oddball CDs like Autechre's Anvil Vapre that don't sound right even when encoded with 320 Kbps --alt-preset insane, but they are rare. Second Bad Vilbel is like a spit in the face of the mp3 format. :-) |
||||||||

O yeah eh? :: rises to the challenge :: I'm gonna see if ogg vorbis does justice to that track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exact audio copy + razorlame or ogg = special treaty weats :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ogg can't encode the track well either. I'm not sure if it's better or worse, but it is bad in a different way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
c'mon, they all use the same encoders. lame.enc, bL0.m3.dic, kzm.ya55, or S0k.d33z.n0ts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

do a search for this plug in: 60,f0|<.yr.s31.fffoo1.lmc |

You know what? Ogg at quality 8 is pretty damn close. I can't really hear a difference when I a/b the CD and the Ogg. And that's with an M-audio card, an old Marantz amplifier and Grado headphones. Maybe the noise at the beginning sounds a bit more spacious or detailed on the CD. It's hard to tell. The bitrate goes as high as 470 at times. But the file is 23 megs, which is about what I'd expect a Lame VBR file to weigh in at. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Naw, scratch that. Preset standard would be smaller. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If ya want 100%, forget everything you heard. use EAC. Exact Audio Copy. it's like LAME for mp3encoders, EAC for extractors. 'choice of the pros', as Dwld called it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Both --api and ogg with a high q are pretty good. I wouldn't notice unless I was paying attention. Listen carefully when the beat begins. There is a very high-frequency tone above the music. This gets pretty mangled up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
f0.0k.U.G.33.k5.0 is a good encoder as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you talking about the slight sound that sounds like a hiss of escaping air or sik rubbing against itself? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not sure. My headphones don't even go that high and I can't play it on the regular stereo. I'm pretty sure my family wouldn't like being woken up by Second Bad Vilbel. But yeah, probably. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooo wait, later there's this really high sound like a cicada, like a vibrating metal reed in the back of my skull. It chirps a bit. Is that it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anyone want to tell the size difference between the two lame setting discused above? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
preset standard comes out about the same size as a 192 k mp3, depending on how much detail is in the music. preset extreme is more likely to be 20% of the size of the uncompressed wav, like a 256k CBR file but better sounding. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't listen to the track in high-fidelity right now. The sound is at about the 20 second mark. Duble0syx: which settings? --alt-preset standard is about 192 Kbps and extreme about 256 Kbps on average. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've been debating on discontinuing my mp3pro collection and re-ripping back to regular mp3's. At least my AFX collection anyway. So how much bigger is the file size on lame preset extreme versus standard? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nevermind the last part of my last post... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
extreme will be about 25% bigger, on average, then standard. So a 4 MB track would be about 5 MB. |
