MP3 Rip program

Iam after a decent mp3 rip program please people, was going to use imgburn but looking at their site iam sure its only a burning program. My only option at the mo is WMP, just wondered what else is on the market?

there you go, EAC with Lame preconfigured for you, double click the exe once and it'll install itself

check start menu for the link to it

select the files you want, and click mp3, the default output folder is C:\MP3, you can change it in the options

guess it doesnt work in Vista X64?

Hmmmm, working now...odd

WMP displays the wrong disc, disc 2 instead off disc 1! Iam ripping a few albums for my archos.

EAC selected the correct disc! BTW, what lame again, heard about it before.

EAC looks great but its only ripping in .wav now. On my first try the file formate came out as .mp3 which is what I want. Ive not changed anything. Checked the file format in EAC. Cant see where iam going wrong?!

I think EAC rips to wav to begin with, and then converts it to mp3.

Yer your right, I didnt leave it too finish. Other thing is when I change the compression to 128kbps, after each rip the cd is ripped at 256, do you know why? Do I need to change the LAME encoder?

Jimmy1983 · 1 Jan 2008 at 18:36

Yeh I see what your saying, Iam sure I should be able to get 128 tho.

Some off the tracks have been ripped to 256 and others to 320, not ideal as I wanted 128.

It's a FOSS mp3 encoder widely regarded as producing the highest quality sound at a given bitrate.

The default is the user defined encoder, leave it at that? There is LAME MP3 Encoder in that drop down list aswell

Did you download and install Bledd's version of EAC? If so, it is all set up for you.

Yer I did. Only changed the filename/bit rate settings

Thanks for that guide, just decided to give media monkey a go instead now. Couldnt get to grips with eac

Anyone know how to add album art using media monkey? When I insert a cd, freedb finds all the tracks ok, but Iam not sure how to add the album art?
