I buy a book a month. I just bought Dragons blood.
cdex has been never any problem for me.
I just new someday I would bump into a prtected disk.
What is a good MP3 ripper that can do the job?
-
Depending on protection type, I am assuming a CD, right? Alcohol 120%.
-
if worse comes to worse, look at Audacity (free) it can record the signal being sent to your sound card and lets you save it as MP3s or OGG or whatever...
Works pretty OK for music if you've got a decent sound card and use digital audio out of your CD player, so it should be just fine for an audiobook.

If I have to play the cd's. all 12 hrs worth. and then convert to mp3. Not worth the bother. That is why I gave up converting my books on tape. just not woth the trouble.
would take me years to do all my cassetts

What kind of copy error are you getting? Too many jitter errors? Do you know what form of copy protection they used? Might be in the liner notes somewhere (or whatever they call those on book-on-tape.
I had to jump through some hoops to disable some stuff that got installed on my Foo Fighters CD. As a result, I've disabled autoplay to stop that from happening again. If you know the form of protection, you can google to find out how to disable what it already installed and then disable autoplay (or hold down the shift key when loading the CDs). Last one I ran into, it installed some annoying windows services that I had to disable.
As an alternative, since you already have purchased the book on cd legit, hit your favorite p2p site and grab it from there

not sure what type of error.
CDEX just says it must shut down , and does just that.
I do not know how to find out what kind of protection this book has.
I was hoping some one here would know of a sight to visit.
for video I go to doom9
for consoles I go to afterdawn
audio ... ???? first time I have had a problem
cdex has allways done the job for me.
this is the stangest disk I have ever seen.
12 cd's to this book.
1st disk has 99 tracks none over 0:58 sec. long. some as short as 0:13 sec.
-
I've never had CDEX just shut down on me...but I've never had a disk with 99 tracks.
www.cdfreaks.com might have some info, I haven't checked.
I did some quick looking last night and didn't find out anything too useful. Appears one of the options for that book was an MP3 download. I suspect we will see more of that as an option for this ipod generation we are raising.
I don't know if EAC will do the trick in this case or not. DrewKaree has a big writeup on using it in Audio. Worth a shot.

found away to do it.
convert to wav file
convert wav to mp3
