Works for me. A lot of CDs come with some form of protection on, whether it's "copy protection" [Foo Fighters] or something like sticking a data track on [Death in Vegas], or making the CD loads and loads of small tracks that stutter and stick when played in some players on computers [Dzihan & Kamien] or one that just plain won't copy [Ian Brown, music of the spheres] I find ripping to WAV and writing back out again works fine. S'ok on mp3s too - can fit 4 gig odd on a DVD which amounts to err loads of CDs rather than carrying 50 CDs around with me - cos let's face it, if you're listening to it on a PC or laptop at work you won't notice the difference. But I guess if you're going to make your music collection available for download you don't need a lo [sic] quality ripper.

Nah, prefer to buy my music.

MY Ip will be changing my. It will be down for a few days as I am moving. I will put out a general posting to the groups as to the new Ip address. Thankx and sorry for the inconvenience.

My psyechdelic obsession is limited only by cash, but I have a pretty good collection now, and some really bizarre groups who used primitive electronic instruments and weird keyboards. Here's some weird names for you: Fifty Foot Hose Lothar and the Hand People Electric Prunes HP Lovecraft West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band United States of America All these are really good music too...not novelty stuff! My one biggest favourite track so far though, is 'Vacuum Cleaner', by a British group called Tintern Abbey, and they only released one single - apparently the Chemical Brothers sampled it, but I don't have any of their stuff... Anyway, have to go...need food! Cheers, Dwb uf-orb.com :---D --- The frogs are the best band in the universe.. Who was it who said they saw em out the other night? Fuck me they are genius! Songs like fuck you.

hello all !!! Anyone able to recommend a good ripping progam? I have soooo much to share :)

If you mean ripping from CDs, EAC combined with LAME is pretty much as good as it gets right now, particularly if your CDs are less than perfect. Of course, if you don't want to rip from CDs, or aren't married to the mp3 format, you have a number of choices...
