BEST Ripper around?

<< < (3/3)

desmatic:
I've ripped just under a terabyte of CDs all using EAC (FLAC/APE/LAME encoders).  APE is superb but windows only.  FLAC works on everything, but you'll need an FE.  LAME works natively with EAC, just install it first.

There are a lot of rippers out there but the two best are cdparanoia (Linux) and EAC (Windows, preferably 98SE).  EAC is very fast if you have a cacheless drive (hard to find but worth the effort if your serious about ripping).

As an aside, DVD drives usually outperform CD drives when it comes to read accuracy.  I've had great success with Sony DVD drives.  I've tried philips, toshiba, liteon (which worked well also), and plextor (dissappointing), but my Sony is the one I use.  It ripps at 15x -20x flawlessly.  It'll even rip damaged CDs that most drives just spit out.
