Thank you all for the suggestions, my Q was moved here, so I did not find it until now. will read all info.
thanks again

[Maxson]

I definitely prefer to buy in FLAC. Why buy lossy mp3 when space is not really an issue any more? If I can't buy in FLAC then I will buy the CD and rip to FLAC using Exact Audio Copy. Then I will fix the artwork with bliss. Sorted and ready to play on my Squeezebox Touch!

See my thread on buying music in FLAC and please add links to good music! Great Music in FLAC/WAV and where to buy!

[McChicken]

Thank U, have decided to go with FLAC, as that seem to be the preferred option of most. will also check out your buying links, as there there soon are no more record shops around, and I refuse iTunes shop

NAS and Windows 9.2 Lossless

The file type is wma though not 9.2 and wma-l is lossless (windows media audio-lossless) which he is comparing to flac (free lossless audio codec).

I have seen some people say they hear differences between flac and wav, I use wma-l myself and couldn't pick out a difference between it and wav or flac but if you can then I would use the one you prefer.

[larkone]

The current file/codec version of WMA-L is 9.2 About the Windows Media Codecs (Windows)

Can you show me a screen shot that shows 9.2 as a file type as that is what the op is talking about?

I would like to rip my cd's to windows 9.2 lossless as I understand that it's the "best" file type.

[Trollslayer]

FLAC is losseless and supports tags so suits me fine.
CDex handles everything for me.

But if you cannot hear the difference yourself then why would you forgo the technical advantages of flac (comprehensive tagging, smaller filesize) over wav just because someone with different ears has a different perception?

The comment relates to a different thread.
NAS and Windows 9.2 Lossless

I have no idea why it was moved here. To answer your question though they shouldn't - they should use whatever they prefer that suits their usage. I use a mixture of file formats including flac and wav but the majority are wma-l, I have no particular preference and use whatever I feel like using when ripping CDs. My comment was not meant for this thread.

Hi, I loaded my Dire Straits Brothers in Arms (SACD) into the cd tray and started up EAC but the data base only came back with a standard Brothers in Arms CD, not a SACD, so I went a long with that.
After ripping the Stereo layer of the (SACD) I thought it was ok as it says at the end of the logfile
"All tracks accurately ripped, No errors occurred, End of status report.
But after that at the bottom it says "You can use CUETools to repair this rip".
What does this mean ? repair the rip with cuetools, when I thought that the rip had been accurately ripped.
I Would appreciate an explanation
Here is the logfile

as its near a Master Disc as you will get , its copy protected !!

[JUST ROCK]

Oh ok. The ripped sacd does sound great, its a lot better than the remaster cd that is out. So I guess if it says
All tracks accurately ripped I will leave it at that.

[andy1249]

Theres nothing to worry about here really ,

This first part ,

[CTDB TOCID: FhuOllXhT7sAE0942nFgmdX0cfQ-] found, Submit result: FhuOllXhT7sAE0942nFgmdX0cfQ- has been confirmed
[1e1d87a4] (025/328) Differs in 19 samples @05:07:69,05:12:35,13:36:38,17:44:23,24:19:62,24:2 4:46,39:53:43,44:33:60,48:13:67,55:04:45

It sees a problem with the TOCID , thats the Table of Contents , which , seeing as your comparing the SACD to a Standard CD , is to be expected.

The numbers after "Differs in 19 samples" are roughly the start times of each track , which are slightly different on the SACD , again this is to be expected.

Other than that , your rip is fine.

It is very often the case that people just use the database entry for track names and don't concern themselves with whether or not the entry they are using is ripped from the same master/pressing.

As such , a lot of the data in the accurate rip database is incorrect. Especially with titles like this that have so many different releases.

That is usually OK so long as no features are enabled in the ripping software that will actually act on that incorrect data to modify your rip.

As you can see from the confidence figures , you are not the first person to rip the SACD CD layer using the database entry from the standard CD.

Incidentally , I have that same SACD , and I get the same CRC's as you , I always "test and copy" , so I have the same CRC's twice.

[JUST ROCK]

Thanks for your replies. It is very true that there is so many versions of cds nowadays especially with all these remasters coming out. Hopefully my ripped cds are ok, they have "All tracks accurately ripped" in the logfile.

[martin 39]

hi all have started to rip my music collection but seeing as i know nothing about this i need some help please . need to no should i rip to 24 or 16 bit and on the hrz should i use 48000 41000 96000 or just leave it on auto . i have tried this and on 48000 it gives me a kbps at 1300 and if auto its 896 but this means nothing to me any help please thanks guys

[larkone]

There is no point in ripping a CD higher than 16/44 FLAC as it will not give any better sound. Ripping in this format will give sound quality equal to the original CD.

[martin 39]

Thanks just what I needed to know . Does it matter if some have been ripped higher or not

[therixonator]

It only matters for 2 reasons really, 1 is space as they'll take up more room. The other is whether your player can handle the format. For example Sonos can't play back 24bit codecs.

[therixonator]

Btw Martin, have read of the sticky in this section about ripping cds. It helped me no end. It's a big job that you really only want to do once.

Also backup, backup, back up! My method is to rip to my pc, and use synctoy to copy to my Nas and an external harddrive. Then I keep the hdd at work and just bring it home when I have lots of new albums.

[martin 39]

Thanks again I'm just getting into this as I never thought I would . Not long got a arcam avr400 . And find It better than my old roksan Caspian . So tried ripping a few cds and was amazed how good it sounded . So just looking for best ways to do this .would a r dac help the sound .

[therixonator]

I not heard the arcam so I can't really comment but the rdac is a very good dac for the money. I had one for a couple of years and it has served me well. Very simple to use, minimal controls and it made a massive difference to my system at the time.

I have since upgraded to the audiolab mdac which I'm very happy with too. But it's a different sort of dac really. It needs configuring to get the best out of it, but you do get a lot more choice and features. Plus the support you get from the designer John Westlake is the best I've come across in any product I've ever bought. Audio or not.

But it does cost twice as much as an rdac. Find a shop that sells your gear and test dacs for yourself. Or get a home demo if you can.

[JUST ROCK]

Hi all, I ripped my cd and after rip it says (All tracks accurately ripped, No errors occurred)
So I presume the rip is accurate but I was curious to know what all the (No match) at the end of Log file is all about, should I be concerned about that bit ?
Please could someone explain this for me

[JUST ROCK]

So I presume my ripped cd is ok then, with the No match on log file ?

[badsoden]

Apart from batch converting and multi core processing is there any other reason why I would want to purchase dBpoweramp over using the free EAC? I'm willing to make the investment if there is a reason to, like rip quality or something.

[amcluesent]

like rip quality or something.

AFAIK, EAC has always been the benchmark for rip quality. If you've mastered EAC, I can't see any reason to change.

That's good to hear, I'm already 100 or so CD's into ripping a collection and just wanted to check I was using the right software! I've used the guides mentioned to set up EAC and I'm happy with the process I just wanted to check that I wasn't missing anything available in a paid for application. I'm also in no hurry so I'm ripping them as and when I have time so I'm not too bothered about speeding the process up which is what dBpoweramp seems to offer over EAC.

[JUST ROCK]

I think that the slower ripping that EAC does is better because you get better results rather than a high speed rip from dbpoweramp.

[badsoden]

After thinking I had mastered EAC I've found a problem with some mix CD's showing as having gaps when they shouldn't. I've tried the different gap detection options but get the same results.
