BEST Ripper around?

(1/3) > >>

magic:
Hello all,

I'm about to rip all my CD's (more than 300) and I was wondering what is the best ripper software around? I have MusicMatch Plus and I'm happy with its ease of use. However, I heard that it uses a bad codec and some other software

Dear DrewKaree,

Thanks for the reply. As you suggested, my "best" meant the most accurate sound quality and the closest to the CD with a reasonable file size. Regardless of anything else like tagging, sorting etc...

I read the thread you directed me to, and as I though you suggested EAC, but your main point on EAC, is that you never have to check every single track for flaws. Well, with MusicMatch I never had to do that. I mean if the CD is fine and unscratched (which most of mine are) then you don't have to worry about any flaws.

However, what I meant by

I use MusicMatch as well, but only to listen to my tracks.  I used to use it to rip, since it was an all-in-one solution, but I found that there were times that something DID cause a flaw, and sometimes, if a disc was scratches and caused a problem, MusicMatch would either hang, or wouldn't rip the track.  EAC will do multiple scans and will come up with a decent file from even scratched disks.  If EAC won't rip it, it probably won't be rippable by ANY program.

I like CDex.  http://www.cdex.n3.net/  It is free and you can choose from many different encoders.  I use the LAME encoder.
