best practices
can anyone offer up some best practices as to ripping CDs/ converting to
wav files that works in vista ultimate 64? if one were to take a wav file created by media player (in vista) vs a 3rd party product and have a side by side comparison and use sound quality, ease of use, how long it takes to rip CD, whether the app can place and manage music collection (create folders, categorize by group, name of album. song title etc...) I have lots of troubles with Media Player (in Vista) where the app keeps closing down/crashing when I am ripping CDs. Microsoft had me change/add codecs (adding the K-Lite Mega Codec) If its about the codec, then which one is audiophile grade absolutely the best hands down? If all I am doing is converting (grabbing) cda files and turning them into uncompressed wavs, do I really need to wory about a codec? (compress/decompress) Since technically I am not opting to play my music with any compression. |

scroll around till you find some of the other things that no longer work
with microsoft since Vista came out. Not only will it **** you off you just might decide to buy a Mac. This is not an add or prop for mac btw I'm an XP pro user. I just think billy gates has his head up his rump on this POS newer version. Newer isn't better when it limits the experiance of the honest just to protect big business from the crooks.

Let me know when you get Vista debugged and then I will consider it. The pioneers are the ones with the arrows in their backs. Microsoft had me change/add codecs (adding the K-Lite Mega Codec) That's a clear indication of clueless desparation in my book. |

hello Anthony,
there's a free powerful program called EAC - Exact Audio Copy, available at http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ . it is a very powerful program that can extract tracks from audio CD error-free into WAV and then can be configured to use free high-quality LAME encoder at http://lame.sourceforge.net/ to encode WAV into MP3 on the fly. it also supports freedb, so you can get titles and MP3 ID tags filled in automatically. will it work under Vista? don't know. works fine under XP. -a have you tried it with "Anthony Watters" wrote in message . .. can anyone offer up some best practices as to ripping CDs/ converting to wav files that works in vista ultimate 64? if one were to take a wav file created by media player (in vista) vs a 3rd party product and have a side by side comparison and use sound quality, ease of use, how long it takes to rip CD, whether the app can place and manage music collection (create folders, categorize by group, name of album. song title etc...)
