Title: is it possible to rip from cd changer to hard drive?
Post by: EYEOPR8R on August 18, 2005, 01:02:38 pm

I don't mind that it would have to be in real time, I just can't find any info about whether I can connect my cd changer to my sound card and then either rip each cd in the changer to my hard drive one after the other, or even just record each cd in the original wav file to my hard drive then convert later to mp3.  Any info would be appreciated, thanks

I have a cmedia soundcard that does bit-accurate recording via the spdif input, and I tried making an app that used the slink-e and tghe CDJ program that was driving the changes to record from the soundcard to a .wav for later offline compression to .flac.

It was a disaster, the track end signalling isnt quite on time, and theres no way that I could find to read it from the spdif stream like minidisc decks do.

Files recorded this way compared bit accurate with the one done in EAC except for the missing/extra samples issues caused by the mis-timings.

You could do it in analog using some recording software pretty easily...but it would take ages and you'd have to do it track by track (or cut it into tracks using some editing software).

Search for Total Recorder for some recording software.
