Ripping CD’s
Converting a music CD to digital audio files is called
ripping. We recommend converting your CD’s to a
non-compressed format such as FLAC or ALAC.
There are many programs that can help you with this
task. Take care that the proper meta information is
used to tag the files. Essential tags are title, artist,
album and order info (track N of M).
Some of the best programs use elaborate techniques
to get bit perfect copies of the data, bypassing the
error correction algorithm of CD’s, and comparing
your data with data signatures available on the
internet.
When you keep on having trouble ripping a specific
CD, it can help to try a different computer with a
radically different CD drive.
