CD Ripping Software
I just ordered a new Mac. It was time after almost 7 years with my current one.
I'm done ripping with iTunes. Considering dbpoweamp (leading candidate), XLD or JRiver. Not considering EAC since it is too cumbersome to set up and use.
Can anyone comment on the latest state of these products and preferences?
Thx!_______________

Re: CD Ripping Software
I have never used DBPowerAmp, however JRivers is super easy and seems to do an amazing job in ripping CDs. I have experimenting ripping in various formats all the way up to DSD128. It works well and I find it extremely easy to use.

Re: CD Ripping Software
Thx guys! Do you use any other special software for metadata or is dbpoweamp good enough for this as well?

For many Sooloos users dbpoweramp is the software of choice even over the built in Sooloss tool. Handling of metadata is one of the main reasons.
I just stick with Sooloos option as it works well with how I choose music to play.Jim

Re: CD Ripping Software
XLD is the go-to program for Macs, dBPoweramp for Mac isn't quite there yet.

Re: CD Ripping Software
A nice trick is the use of AccurateRip.
This is an internet database allowing you to compare your rip with those of others.
dBpoweramp / EAC / XD supports this, JRiver doesn’t
Bit more on AccurateRip in my website:http://www.thewelltemperedcomputer.c...ccurateRip.htm
JRiver uses Freedb and its own YADB for metadata at rip time.
dBpoweramp uses AMG, GD3, MusicBrainz and FreeDB. AMG and GD3 are paid services providing better data than de free ones.
I do think JRiver pretty much down on meta data.

Re: CD Ripping Software
XLD is the only one I've used of those mentioned. It has worked well for me.

XLD is essentially bulletproof. dBPoweramp could be great - but, last time I tested it ( and I've tested it on a number of occasions since it was released for MAC,
it's still problematical - and - has a problem with AccurateRip. But if that's not important - it does have some interesting features that others ( like XLD) don't have.

Re: CD Ripping Software
XLD is my choice too. I've ripped most of my 9000+ CDs with it, first to ALAC, and finally to AIFF. Works beautifully, and can be configured to do all the work automatically, you just have to feed the CDs in the drive. It'll rip, and spit the disc out
cheers,
alex
