Re: Some Questions About Ripping And Tagging Files

2009-06-24 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I'm no audiophile, so I'd be curious to hear what James has to say, but 
from my understanding, if you specifically want MP3 files then I 
wouldn't be surprised if you don't see the advantages from using EAC and 
a lossless format. I would think if you're looking for MP3 files then 
CDEX, WMP or just about any ripping program will give you more than 
satisfactory output. I obviously defer to James and other audiophiles on 
the list though.

I don't rip a lot of CD's, but when I do, I use Exact Audio Copy, with
the FLAC encoder, with tons of configuration changes, command line
arguments, etc. My point here is that EAC is very advanced. It is used
by both legal and non-legal music release groups to rip music, as its
quality cannot be beaton. The focus is not, therefore, always on
userbility, but on functionality. CDex is the oppositte. Its not very
widely regarded as being very good at ripping, however this is slightly
untrue. CDex is no way as good as EAC, but its acceptable. In short, if
you are ripping a CD, and you know exactly what quality settings, what
drive settings to use, and other such advanced settings, then go for
EAC. Setup your compression, select all the tracks on the CD, then use
the copy selected trakcs>compressed option. You can tag them later on.
If you aren't concerned with fantastic output, and getting the absolute
most out of your rip, go with CDex. The upside to CDex is that you can
pretty much put a CD in the drive, run it and rip.

Hello All!

I am attempting to rip and tag files for air play on a couple of
Internet radio stations.  I have permission from the producers of this
local   , which will be marketed through ITunes and Amazon.com,
 

and is
   

also available on a website with so-so accessibility to the cd store.

I am running a Fujitsu C1410 laptop computer with Windows Service Pack
 


   

Three.  I have tried both Exact Audio Copy and a beta of CDEx, and I
have a few questions.  They have me stymied at the moment but I am
sure with a little clarification I will be able to rip my first cd and
 


   

send the files legally to the stations I have in mind.

Now, my questions:
First, with regard to Exact Audio Copy:  is it necessary to copy and
burn files to a cd?  I really would prefer to have them on my hard
drive, as I already own a legal copy of the cd in question.

Second, in both programs as I attempt to label the files with the
correct audio tags I am asked to enter numbers or integers.  I am not
sure what numbers or where.  I Do not have the ISRT numbers available
to me, and as these files are going to be aired on not-for-profit
streams where nothing is sold it is my understanding that this
information isn't needed.  The producers are going to be selling this
album on ITunes and Amazon so they have the correct information.  Do I
 


   

need this?  What do they want, and how can I edit the title and track
information such that it no longer reads only track number and file
information?  I have all the titles, and this cd is not yet available
in any of the databases, having been released less than three weeks
 

ago, June 11th, to be exact.
   

I am also wondering whether I have the correct Beta version, CDEX 1.70
 


   

Beta Two which has a release date of January 4, 2009.

In the documentation for CDEX 1.70 Beta Two there is information
regarding the possible need to install additional drivers.  Is it
possible that I need to install these?

Finally, I have Window-Eyes 7.0, JAWS 10.0, and System Access.  Is
there any one of these apps that might give more accessibility?

I will keep working on this but would appreciate any information on
the program, especially these issues that don't seem to be easy to
find in the help, at least not for this person who gets more out of
verbal explanation.

Thanks very much in advance.

If you are assured that the mike is working then you really don't need to have 
the mike on in the play section of volume control only in record so that those 
you're speaking to can hear you.

I am using Skype with an Audigy sound card and want to know, is there
a configuration I can use or et up such that when I'm using Skype, the
audio from my microphone does not come through the PC speakers?  The
big problem I have is space.  The speakers are very close to the
microphone, so using Skype with any kind of volume at all is almost
impossible because of feedback problems that ensue as soon as I raise
the volume just the leastest little bit.  But every mute button in the
Volume Control application mutes the audio to Skype as well as the
audio of the microphone back through to the speakers.  Is there a way
around this, or do I have to seriously consider a second sound card
and just don't connect any speakers to the output?

I am using Skype with an Audigy sound card and want to know, is there a
configuration I can use or et up such that when I'm using Skype, the audio
from my microphone does not come through the PC speakers?  The big problem I
have is space.  The speakers are very close to the microphone, so using
Skype with any kind of volume at all is almost impossible because of
feedback problems that ensue as soon as I raise the volume just the leastest
little bit.  But every mute button in the Volume Control application mutes
the audio to Skype as well as the audio of the microphone back through to
the speakers.  Is there a way around this, or do I have to seriously
consider a second sound card and just don't connect any speakers to the
output?
