CD Ripping - Which Program?
CD ripping at home? OK, maybe you’ve go time or just dipping your toe in the water. Do a Google search for CD ripping or CD ripping software and you’ll get a bewildering array of options. Which software should you go for?
First, forget about the more lavish claims made for MP3 CD ripping software. Speed - you’re unlikely to notice any significant difference between any of the options on offer. Hardware features such CPU, CD unit, RAM etc make a bigger contribution to ripping speed. Second, quality - the biggest impact on quality is compression rate. Quite simply the less you compress your digital music files the better the sound.
Our recommendation would be to go with the offerings of the mainstream players, Apple and Microsoft. So if I were ripping music on a Mac I’d opt for iTunes. On a Windows PC you can go for iTunes or Windows Media Player.
