Hi all,

I have about 50, if not more CD's, to rip to mp3.

I dont mind paying for a bit of software I just want advice on the best / easiest / quickest available?

Has anybody had any experience?

Thanks in advance,

PES
 
Just do it in Windows Media Player. It should automatically tag the tracks for you. Will take a while, but its easy :)
 
What ever you do your going to have to swap the disks in the drive and set the next one going and will be limited by drive speed, so you may aswell use windows media player set to high quility, or nero or whatever you have.

It will take time so make sure you rip to a lossless format or the highest bitrate mp3 you can.
 
This might sound stupid, but isn't there some crap about you not being legally allowed to backup music media, or is that just if you then choose to burn it a backup CD?
 
I've used CDEX a lot. Free and effective. You can rip to .wav with no loss, rip to various compressed formats with various codecs (I use LAME for mp3) at various bitrates.

I tend to use my PC as my music system and it's much more convenient to have my CDs on my shelf and all the contents of them on my HDD. No need to swap discs all the time.

Yep, it's technically copyright infringement. In America they have fair use, but last I checked we don't have any such equivalent.

And yet we all have full ipods.

No one is ever, ever going to bring a suit on this matter.
 
If you have a phat internet connection it's probably quicker to download them once you factor in all the CD swapping and suchlike :p

iirc You're allowed to make a backup copy (intended as a back up) but if you take that copy and put it on your mp3 player then you're a dirty pirate :/
