Backing up CD's

[photo_angel2004]

for extracting audio cds to mp3 or wave i prefer eac or cdex


both are freeware

I will have to check those out, thanks!

I'm talking about Rap Crap and things of that persuasion, four teenage daughters stuff! They have Warnings all over the disks and cases.

CRAP?!?!?! I like rap music! *cough* Tupac is good, and is Eminem and such. But notice how I edit my music

Next time tell her to buy the CLEAN versions... that's the same as what you hear on the radio (that's my local station)

Sometimes you will have problems with a mixed content CD ,a bit of video inserted to confuse the copy software especially if you are copying on the fly. With those situation i copy to the HD first then back to Cd rom.

Sorry DRF !

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings with the "RAP CRAP" I am really sorry *cough*

I always thought my loss of hearing would be a slow natural process, but with all the teenage girls around this house, instead it has become an accelerated affliction.

all recomendations posted are good(nero,eac,clonecd,etc).
i do like petsbug

i copy to the HD first then back to Cd rom.

because some cds have low volume or too big differents volumes between songs and i "correct" this differences in audition or sound forge.(and i cut long spaces between songs(more than 4 seconds) too)

about "RAP CRAP" : i can tell if i like because i never could listen one entire rap...,i can't tell if this type of music can be called (C)rap....my ears can't stand so much bla,bla (question of taste)..,when i was young listen hendrix my brother with more 20 years than me tell me that: hendrix have some "intestinal problem"....maybe i'm "growing old"

i stay with metallica(and others very cool list that i posted somewhere in the forum that like mary....mary is one cool prima-dona for guitar players)

Hi

Thanks for the response,

Thanks for CDEX from "UNcasMS"

and to CHEWY for AUDIOGRABBER my girls are already using that cool program on their computer.

Anymore FREE stuff out there? or any good Forums on this subject?

thankyou all

Do you have Nero?

Not sure why you need to back up to the HD as an MP3... just use Nero or Roxio or another freeware prog (search www.download.com for "CD burning") and click "copy CD"

[UncasMS]

in case you run into trouble with copy protections on your audio cds take a look at this: http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/do...-free_250.html

That Freeware costs money??

[anonymez]

use nero, it'll work just fine.

for mp3 backup, again, nero will do the job just fine, but i like cdex.

almost all rap made in the last 10 years sucks (since tupac's death-- a musical genius. he is to rap what michael jackson is(was) to pop). losers like 50 cent, kanye west and the like are a disgrace

[anonymez]

So, all these warnings on these disks that "TUPAC is going to rise from the dead and bust a cap in my ass" if I try to copy this disk, is a bunch of hooey?

i own and have backed up all of his cd's, hasn't happened yet

[Chewy]

i own and have backed up all of his cd's, hasn't happened yet

did you ever use the 4.2 versions of clone?

[anonymez]

not for music cd's-- i'm not sure what i used to back them up, can't remember. probably nero/alcohol 120%

[Chewy]

I always thought it was very powerful but lame in it's setting, until i was doing
some karaoke work, and discovered a whole hidden right click menu world.
My version is over 2 years old but it sees all my optical drives!




here a custom karaoke profile i created


right clicking and edit gives me the hidden tweaks



now this program makes nero look very lame
of course since it did raw they had to move from germany after the law change

Hmmm... I have never had a problem with any audio CD using Roxio OEM version... my dad uses Nero with no problem.

What problem was he having again?

I mean, the absolute easiest way is to hit "copy CD"
