hi
This is something which I too would value for much the same
reasons. XLD certainly has its merrets, and I too avoid iTunes
as far as ripping CDS goes. This is despite the fact that my CD
material is always virtual. I only use real CD media as a very
last resort. Even with virtual media, however, XLD is painfully
slow nowadays and the only indication of a successful rip is to
enable 1logging mode, then you can at least verify that the job
went error-free by examining the output log. For reasons I
cannot discuss here, I'm not currently even able to do this. I
can only hope for a quick fix as things develoeap.
Kind regards
Gordon

Subject: good alternative to iTunes for ripping CDs
Morning folks,
At present I use XLD to rip my CDs as I avoid iTunes like the
plague. However one thing that irritates me about XLD is that
you can't see the progress and consequently cannot be certain the
CD is ripping correctly. So are there any good alternatives?
I'd ideally like something which enables ripping and storing of
the converted tracks according to a naming convention.
Thoughts welcome,
Dónal
