I dont know if it matters to you, but when(if) gappless playback becomes avalible if you want to use it, you need your files to have been made with the LAME codec. Hope you find a program or programs that work for you… Personally, in the rare instances where I have to encode to mp3 for a client (I am an ogg vorbis and FLAC person) I first use EAC then encode using lame (within a sound restoration package I use). Audiograbber is a virtual antique, but it probably would work as well. Lame Front-End or Razor Lame should work equally well. Front-ends don’t do much more than give the codec a GUI, it won’t alter the quality of your resulting mp3’s.

If you are more comfortable using a front-end with the LAME codec, just experiment and find one that works for you. It takes a bit of time to initially set up but that is usually done only once. I agree with tenzip that Exact Audio Copy probably provides the best CD rips and can even recover audio information from damaged CDs. I guess the question that needs to be asked…Do you want programs that are easy or fast to use OR Do you want the best possible audio files possible? FreeRip does a decent job and is a breeze to navigate, but it isn’t necessarily the best application out there (I know… this is very subjective). Message Edited by CurlySue on 03-01-2009 03:16 AM

Thanks in advance for sharing your perspective on what software and encoder you are using to rip your CDs. I also looked at front-end programs, like Audiograbber and LameFE, but I have not tried any of them yet. Prior to posting, I read that LAME 1.98.1 is an excellent MP3 encoder. Therefore, its time to try something new. I am pretty sure that this encoder is, at best, average.

(front-end software) with Windows Media Audio 9 encoder to rip my CDs to WMA format at 192 kbps, 320 kbps CBR, and Lossless. I just bought a Sansa e260, and would like to learn what software/encoder(s) other Sandisk owners are using to rip CDs for your MP3 players.įor a year or so, I have been using jetAudio 7.

Thank you for sharing your perspective on who makes the BEST free ENCODER for ripping your CDs.Īs this thread progresses, so too goes my perspective. That being said, I must add that I cannot hear the difference between WMA9 and LAME 1.98.1 at 320Kbps. WMA9 is VASTLY superior at these lower compression factors. I read that LAME 1.98.1 is an excellent MP3 encoder, however, thus far, compared to WMA9, particularly at 128Kbps and below, LAME 1.98.1 is just that - lame. its free and, in my opinion, easier to use than WMP9, WMP10 or WMP11.īut its the ENCODER that I am most interested in. The GUI or front-end software I currently use is jetAudio 7. I just bought a Sansa e260, and I am interested to learn what Encoder(s) Sandisk owners use when ripping CDs for your Sansa MP3 players.įor a year or so, I have been using Windows Media Audio 9 to rip my CDs to WMA format at 192 kbps, 320 kbps CBR, and Lossless.
