Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / June 2008Please, recommend me a good CD ripper for Mac
Dear friends: Please, recommend me a good CD (not DVD) ripper for Mac, like "Audiograbber" for Windows. Thanks a lot. Thanks Juan I.

Well, nothing for normal work, but it lacks some tuning tools to rip CDs which they are with some damage. "Audiograbber" has them and it is more flexible in that aspect, but it is for Windows only.

It has been.. it's the ripper used in Max: http://sbooth.org/Max/ Signature[P]eople [E]ating [T]asty [A]nimals > Dear friends: > > Please, recommend me a good CD (not DVD) ripper for Mac, like > "Audiograbber" for Windows.

Max, because it used the CDParanoia Ripper and I think the Encoder is LAME. CD Stack I like because I can just keep feeding CDs to it, it rips them, and it encodes in the background...

Indeed.. :) Max appears to able to encode out to more than one format at once. I'll have to try that and see what happens...

I'll > have to try that and see what happens... Trouble with Max/cdparanoia is that there is no usable log output. The next major version (v9) is to have it. If you're needing a decent log (a la EAC) use xACT for the rip. Or better yet, depending on end users preferences, setup Parallels/Fusion for EAC. Note: In both Max and xACT paranoia is not the default ripper and so must be specified (Max in Preferences, xACT in util tab). Yes, I have been known to load a CD, invoke the script (included with latest Max version) to grab tags from Gracenote (I know: Boooo!), and rip/encode to ALAC, FLAC, AAC (and occasionally MP3) - all in one click (once setup, of course). Tip: In Max's Output preference you can only specify one place per "use." In custom file naming pref you can add format specific delimiter to at least have them in subdirectories by format. If you want you can add symlinks to the output location for other more preferred locations (aliases do not work). For example, my ALAC goes to my server, the FLAC to a temp location, the AAC to my ~/Music).

That's certainly an option, but my perspective is to find a Mac way to do things *first*. Otherwise you might as well just run XP.

SignatureDon't bother with piddly crap like "gun control". Life is 100% fatal. Ban it. > Dear friends: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Santiago de Chile (South America) > Note: Please forgive me for my bad English, I am trying to improve it! Never used Audio Grabber but ... I've been using WireTap Studio for transferring LPs to digital format. The program is capable of grabbing audio from any source so perhaps it will do what you're looking for? SignatureSharon F |
