Okay then; thanks, for my purposes, if I were to use Winamp as my CD Ripper, I would need the pro version! Thanks for the info! Tom Kaufman

First, you can't rip to mp3, but you can rip to m4a, and some other formats which I forget because I bought the Pro version a while back. Second, the free version only lets you rip at 8x, whereas the Pro version lets you rip at unlimited speed.

But don't you have to have the "pro" version to do this anyway? Tom Kaufman -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Evan Reese Sent: Saturday, April 05, 2014 11:21 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: CD Data And Information Most of the CDs I've ripped with Winamp are not ones you can find in mainstream stores, but Winamp was able to find the info for them. Gracenotes seems to know almost everything I throw at it, even obscure limited edition electronic music CDs. It's very seldom it doesn't know what a CD is, and I have a lot of stuff from genres that you won't find in mainstream stores. Nowadays though, I avoid buying physical CDs whenever I can and simply buy downloadable versions. I only buy physical CDs when I absolutely have to to get something I really want.
