Hi - and thanks for some very useful advice. HD space is not an
issue. The goal is to have a digital copy on my PC as close to the
original quality of the CD as possible so that, should the CD be
damaged at some point, I can burn another with no loss of sound
quality.
The other question related to using my new iPod. Unless there's a
better format I'm going to make MP3 copies of some of my music for use
on the iPod but would never be thinking of making CDs of MP3 copies.
The question was put because I'd read somewhere that it's best to go
straight from CD to MP3 because there is a quality degradation if ,
e.g. you go from CD to format A, format A to format B and then format
B to MP3. (I don't pretend to understand why anyone should do that
but it was discussed in a book I read on iTunes, iPods or whatever.
BTW I take it that MP3 is the best format for iPods? Again storage
space isn't an issue - it's a Classic with 80GBs - and I know that
there are obvious limitations in listening to music on a iPod. I'm
certainly not intending loading it up with every piece of music I've
got but I just feel that I might as well try and get the best sound
out of it as I can.
I had a look at EAC 0.99 prebeta 4 and the idea of encoding to FLAC
format and need to look into it more closely. But I'm a newbie to
audio and that program seems to pre-suppose a degree of technical know
how I don't have. I have Nero and Roxio. Would they be adequate for
making WAV copies?
Regards,
Ken
Have you found a solution?
Personnally, I use AudioGrabber.
It is simple, straightforward and does the job.
http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/
It's a freeware that will extract the audio from a CD, it will get the
albums and songs titles from the net and create the folders on the HD
accordingly. You have control over the folders creation, you don't have
to create the folders before extracting but you tell AG what to create
(Album folder within Artist folder, filename with Artist - Track # -
Title, whatever you wish).
It will extract directly in the .WAV format and if you put
"lame_enc.dll" in the same folder than AG, it will extract directly to
MP3 if you wish (there is a link on the AG site to download it).
I find this freeware to be quite usefull.
