A ripping project ideae/help

[agent_kith]

For a long long time, I was using Exact Audio Copy (EAC) which as its name implies, is perfect. However EAC was getting long in the tooth.

I switched over to dbPoweramp, which made life much easier, and faster. To my surprise, there was a small improvement in SQ. To get a bigger jump, ground the the drive and laptop. This episode did lead to re-ripping the whole collection...

So, ripping software and how you rip does matter...

I know! That is so crazy right? Had to find the right CD ROM drive too. At the end of the day the checksums that say your RIP is perfect doesn't really matter, I still don't understand that.

Sadly, this is all in the past now as CDs are getting so rare these days in Australia. Vinyls is in. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just that digital audio done right can be very good also.
