RE: ripping converting and copying/backup DVD'S using a Mac

[Tim Grady]

If you want something really easy to use try idealdvdcopy from 
idealdvdcopy.com.  It is really accessible software with practically   little 
to no learning curve.  Make sure to get the right version for the OS you're 
running.

Hi!
Normally people use to make things easier by giving a link to an suggested app.
But ofcourse i can search google.
No problem.
It would though make things more easy from my point of view if you give the 
link to the app in question.

select the “Backup” profile and make the necessary adjustments to backup the

I've tried this method with both Window-Eyes and NVDA.

Press Windows-B, that brings up the System Tray and you may have to 
check that additional notifications are displayed, that's usually the 
first option, it appears as a check-box.


Move down the list till you come to Any DVD and then use the context key 
or rout the mouse to the Any DVD icon and right click on it.


From here you'll see a menu with various options which include Rip DVD 
to Hard Drive.

Re: Ripping Questions

[Gary Petraccaro]

I'm willing to poke around, but, so far, I'm only finding software that 
doesn't do the meta data acquisition too well.  I'm getting use results from 
Express Rip.  The one thing I like about that program is that I can rip a cd 
to 1 track instead of the 99 that some of my audio books have and I would 
prefer to avoid that.  My old radio stuff doesn't seem to get anything 
useful.  So it seems like I'm going to want access to a good source for that 
to save all the data entry.  ITunes seems to do pretty well with that, but I 
can't figure out how to change settings using WE 9.1.

Thanks.

Gary,

There are two approaches to ripping CD's in Windows Media Player of which 
I am aware.  In another note, you were
referred to the Ripping tab of the options dialog.  On that tap, you can 
check a box that will rip CD's
automatically when you insert one.  It will check first to be sure it was 
not already ripped.  You can also specify
what type of files will be created on that tab.  This works good if you 
are ripping a bunch of them at once.


If you don't want to rip automatically, make sure the associated checkbox 
is not cheched.  When you insert a CD, you
should be focused on the Now Playing tab of Windows Media Player.  If 
you are not on that tab, pressing CONTROL-3
should bring you there.  Once the CD is playing, you should find a Rip 
CD button by tabbing around that dialog.


Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

RE: Ripping With WMP

[Adrian Spratt]

This suggestion was posted by Kevin Hourigan on a JAWS list. I can't vouch for 
them because I haven't tried them.

1. Open WMP, and it says Turn repeat on button .
2. Press Alt O, arrow down to options, and press enter.
3. Press control tab to rip CD page.
4. Tab around to what you want.

 I don’t know about JAWS as I’ve not had time to explore the various

 cd in the drive, launched CDEX and just like magic, there they were, 
 the song titles properly in the right places.  Then I just hit f9 and 
 off it went, ripping to 320 k mp3.  Nice and fast.

 ...get a programme there that's called Player, download it, install it.
 This very blindfriendly program will let you grab the information 
 from Gracenote, then you could either rip to wav or ogg or export the
 information
 in the player.ini from which cdex is able to read it so you can also 
 rip into whatever formats cdex supports, i.e. mp3.

Hi!
Have you tried out Itunes.
I know there's an extra program to install and i am using it on the mac so i am 
not sure how things works on pc but last time i tried Itunes on pc it worked 
just fine to import cd-s with.
There's also exact audio copy which is free.

 Hi.  Not all data base will contain the information you might need.  I've
 just purchased the Porter Wagoner  Dolly Parton 6 disc box set.  This was
 released on the 26th of May this year, I got it 2 weeks after the release.
 However when ripping the discs with CDEX or Express Rip I could get no track
 info and this was a Bear Family box set.  I had to go on the web and find a
 track list and enter the info manually.  It is rather strange because I have
 some very obscure CDs and the Data Base found that info without trouble.
 You might find it of interest that Express Rip gives you the option of two
 Data Bases and if one doesn't get the info, you can then try the other.

RE: Ripping With CDEX:IsIt No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?

[Steve Jacobson]

Tom,

I've written a couple of times but had to reconfirm my membership so don't know 
if they got through.  Therefore, 
I'm sorry if I am repeating myself.

If you still want to figure this out, it is necessary to try to narrow down the 
problem.  Either the CD 
information isn't available on CDEX's databases, something has gone wrong with 
your CDEX install, or something is 
interfering with connections.  Since you have stated that you have seen a rip 
button in Windows Media Player, 
I'll assume that my concern that you might be using Window-Eyes and the button 
may not be detected was incorrect.

Have you attempted to see if another CD you feel confident has worked can be 
ripped by CDEX with track 
information?  If you can get CD information through CDEX for another CD, it 
would establish that CDEX is able to 
get information.  This would point a finger at your particular set not being 
entered in the databases that CDEX is 
using.  As others have said, this kind of thing can happen and doesn't always 
seem logical.  If you can't get 
track information for any CD using CDEX, then clearly there is a problem with 
your configuration and it will be 
worth your time to try to track down the problem and resolve it.

Second, I have seen the rip button not appear in Windows Media Player when 
Windows Media Player determines it 
can't rip a CD.  This can happen if it thinks it already ripped the CD, or 
possibly if there is data rights 
management involved.  I once had this happen when I did not realize that 
Windows Media Player had already 
successfully ripped a CD for me during a period whan I had the rip 
automatically box checked.  I assume that you 
have probably double-checked to be sure the set hasn't already been ripped.

Finally, I had read that you do not have a router, so that couldn't be an 
issue.  Most cable and DSL modems have a 
router built in even if they only have one network connector.  If there is 
wireless capability, there is almost 
certainly a router involved even if it is not a separate piece of hardware.  
These devices also usually have some 
sort of firewall as well, but this isn't something that should have just 
magically changed and therefore started 
causing you trouble.  However, it might not hurt to try unplugging your cable 
or DSL modem if you have it and then 
plugging it back in to get everything to reboot, but only if there seems to be 
no other explanation.  If, for 
example, you can get CDEX to rip even one other CD with track information, then 
you know there is no connectivity 
problem.  If you have some other kind of connection that truly has no router or 
firewall, then obviously this 
paragraph is just wasting your time, although your computer probably has at 
least a Windows firewall.  I hope 
something here is helpful.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

  Tracks?
 
  When i ripped my last couple of cds about a month ago I didn't even
  require the player program you guys are talking about. i just put the cd
  in the drive, launched CDEX and just like magic, there they were, the
  song titles properly in the right places.  Then I just hit f9 and off it
  went, ripping to 320 k mp3.  Nice and fast.

Hi.  As I write this I'm using two different computers to rip my commercial
CDs with CDEX and I am having no trouble, getting all the track and album
info required.  Don't know where you are getting your information.  Walter.

Hello.

Surprised this doesn't seem to have been brought up already but the thread 
is long and there are loads of messages so I might have missed it. I am 
going to guess that the reason this no longer works is that the gracenet 
database is no longer available to the programme. I believe a license fee 
had to be paid to use the service in the first place, and while I could be 
wrong about that, the database did change ownership recently, and both 
Winamp and CDex no longer have access to it. WInamp is no longer being 
updated as I'm sure everyone knows, and I don't think much is being done 
with Cdex either. So it's likely that, unless another solution presents 
itself, you will just have to manually input your track information, or use 
a different programme.

Hm, odd. Well, it hasn't worked for me for some time, either. I just figured 
it went the same way as winamp but I haven't looked into the matter. Has the

I guess that there must be something wrong with your connection to the

Okay...so CDEX _doesn't_ used Gracenote; that's what I was wondering!  So I
fail to understand why (aafter not having trouble with CDEX giving me the
track titles before) why it's doing so now!  It well me be that this CD
Bboxed set hasn't been referenced, but it seems strange, for it's a Hank
Williams collection that was put out probably ten years ago (iI don't

Seems to me that there is somewhere in CDex where you have to tell it where to

and downloads the stuff.

Hi,
with mine set to automatically query the remote CDDB when a disc is inserted 
if it finds no match it'll usually pop up and tell me no match found or give 
me options if there's more than one match it thinks is possible.  If you're 
getting none of that I question whether it's connecting at all.
have you changed anything significantly in terms of hardware, software 
security software settings between the time it last worked and now?
Do you have a windows based system on which system restore is enabled could 
you try restoring the system to the time around which you'd last known the 
program to work properly?
when you have one of these discs in the drive and CDEX is opened if you tap 
alt key for menu bar right arrow over to CDDB menu I believe it is and enter 
on read from remote database what result occurs?

Tom,

Maybe I missed this, but do you get any track information when using Windows 
Media Player?  If you do, this would 
at least validate that the CD was providing the correct data for lookup.  Also, 
if you bought this set used for 
from Ebay, it is always possible you got a set that was copied incorrectly, but 
again, getting information about 
the CD from Windows Media Player would show this was not the case.  This would 
at least narrow the problem down to 
CDEX or the database being accessed.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Tom,

Maybe I missed this, but do you get any track information when using Windows
Media Player?  If you do, this would 
at least validate that the CD was providing the correct data for lookup.
Also, if you bought this set used for 
from Ebay, it is always possible you got a set that was copied incorrectly,
but again, getting information about 
the CD from Windows Media Player would show this was not the case.  This
would at least narrow the problem down to 
CDEX or the database being accessed.

RE: Ripping With CDEX:IsIt No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?

[Steve Jacobson]

Tom,

I asked earlier if you were using Window-Eyes.  I was thinking you did, and if 
so, there has been a problem with 
identifying some of the buttons on the Now Playing window which is where the 
rip button is.  If this is the 
case, you could either check the RIP Automatically box or you could try NVDA 
which does detect this button.  
This is a known issue for Window-Eyes and it will be corrected.

I was thinking, though, that when you put the CD in that there are options to 
display information about the CD 
even if you don't rip.  I thought if you were seeing CD information that it 
would mean that at least in some cases 
CD information is being retrieved.  This would insure that the problem of not 
getting information was associated 
with CDEX and not with a problem with the CD itself.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Hello Robin and list:  I only went to a later version of CDEX yesterday!
The way I do it is to go into CDEX; then I hit F4; I then control-Tab until
it says Remote CDBB tab.  As far as I can tell, things are set as they are
supposed to be (I haven't tried it by the method you described) hitting the
alt key; then going through the menus that way!  But will try that and see
what results this gives me!  I just cannot believe that this particular CD
set is not referenced!

Hi,
with mine set to automatically query the remote CDDB when a disc is inserted

if it finds no match it'll usually pop up and tell me no match found or give

me options if there's more than one match it thinks is possible.  If you're 
getting none of that I question whether it's connecting at all.
have you changed anything significantly in terms of hardware, software 
security software settings between the time it last worked and now?
Do you have a windows based system on which system restore is enabled could 
you try restoring the system to the time around which you'd last known the 
program to work properly?
when you have one of these discs in the drive and CDEX is opened if you tap 
alt key for menu bar right arrow over to CDDB menu I believe it is and enter

on read from remote database what result occurs?

Hi.  there is but I don't have time to explain as I'm heading for bed.  If
you want instructions then let me know but basically you launch CDEX then
pres F4 and have a look around, you will find a number of tabs for
instructing the programme to connect to a data base and for selecting the
quality of the rip.  Walter.

Seems to me that there is somewhere in CDex where you have to tell it where
to get the title and track info.  Then, when you put in a CD, it goes to the
site and downloads the stuff.

Hello.
 
 Surprised this doesn't seem to have been brought up already but the thread

 is long and there are loads of messages so I might have missed it. I am 
 going to guess that the reason this no longer works is that the gracenet 
 database is no longer available to the programme. I believe a license fee 
 had to be paid to use the service in the first place, and while I could be

 wrong about that, the database did change ownership recently, and both 
 Winamp and CDex no longer have access to it. WInamp is no longer being 
 updated as I'm sure everyone knows, and I don't think much is being done 
 with Cdex either. So it's likely that, unless another solution presents 
 itself, you will just have to manually input your track information, or
use 
 a different programme.

Don't have a router (at least not at present time) connection seems to be

I guess that there must be something wrong with your connection to the
database. You might want to check the settings there or your router is
blocking the connection?

 Hm, odd. Well, it hasn't worked for me for some time, either. I just
figured it
 went the same way as winamp but I haven't looked into the matter. Has the
 programme been updated recently?

  Hi.  As I write this I'm using two different computers to rip my

  track and album info required.  Don't know where you are getting your

 Hello.
 
  Surprised this doesn't seem to have been brought up already but the
  thread is long and there are loads of messages so I might have missed
  it. I am going to guess that the reason this no longer works is that
  the gracenet database is no longer available to the programme. I
  believe a license fee had to be paid to use the service in the first
  place, and while I could be wrong about that, the database did change
  ownership recently, and both Winamp and CDex no longer have access to
  it. WInamp is no longer being updated as I'm sure everyone knows, and
  I don't think much is being done with Cdex either. So it's likely
  that, unless another solution presents itself, you will just have to

If it is an MGM, Polygram label it should be referenced. if it is from Time 
Life, or the mother's best recordings from Jett Williams I wouldn't be so 
sure.

Okay...so CDEX _doesn't_ used Gracenote; that's what I was wondering!  So I
fail to understand why (aafter not having trouble with CDEX giving me the
track titles before) why it's doing so now!  It well me be that this CD
Bboxed set hasn't been referenced, but it seems strange, for it's a Hank
Williams collection that was put out probably ten years ago (iI don't

CDEx never used GraceNote.
You have to install Player.exe to get information from GraceNote that you
can also export to CDEx.

This very blindfriendly program will let you grab the information from

in the player.ini from which cdex is able to read it so you can also rip

If it doesn't grab them automaticly, go to your cddb sub menu and arrow 
down to freedb batch query and press enter.  I bet you that'll do the trick.

When i ripped my last couple of cds about a month ago I didn't even
require the player program you guys are talking about. i just put the cd
in the drive, launched CDEX and just like magic, there they were, the
song titles properly in the right places.  Then I just hit f9 and off it

 CDEx doesn't use Gracenote by default, you have to install a different
 program called player which you can find on the gracenote site and this
 will
 allow you to export information from Gracenote to CDEx and, yes, this
 still
 works fine. GraceNote is far better than FreeCDDB, but both still exist
 and
 Gracenote complements the former.

Re: Ripping With CDEX: Is It No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?

[Chris Skarstad]

I dunno if this helps but the version  of CDEX I'm running is 1.70 beta 1.
So if you're running a different version you might try installing the 
one I am and see if that doesn't work.  If you're already running it, go 
into your settings with f4, and in the remote cddb tab, set your server 
to Freedb.Freedb.org, and make sure the connect to remote cddb check box 
is checked.
If all that is correct and you still don't get results, maybe try 
another cd that you know should have a listing, make it something super 
popular, like oh, gosh i dunno a beatles cd if ya have one. Or something 
like Dark Side of The Moon by Pink Floyd.  I'm talking a cd that 
absolutely should be listed, this way we can tell if it's the cd itself 
not being listed, or if it's a problem with the connection, or CDEX itself.

 When i ripped my last couple of cds about a month ago I didn't even
 require the player program you guys are talking about. i just put the cd
 in the drive, launched CDEX and just like magic, there they were, the
 song titles properly in the right places.  Then I just hit f9 and off it
 went, ripping to 320 k mp3.  Nice and fast.

 Gracenote, then you could either rip to wav or ogg or export the
 information

[Blackwell, Clifford]

Under Local CDDB settings, I have the first, third and fourth items checked.  
All other items are unchecked.  Under Remote CDDB Settings, the only item 
checked is Auto Connect.  Are those what you have checked?

Failing this NCH software www.nch.com has a free ripper that works reasonably 
well.

Good luck.

RE: Ripping With CDEX: Is It NoLonger Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?

[Steve Jacobson]

Tom,

Am I remembering correctly that you are using Window-Eyes?  Window-Eyes has 
some trouble with the rip button in 
Windows Media Player, but there are some ways around the problem.  The rip 
button shows up on the Now Playing 
screen which you can bring up by pressing CONTROL-3.  However, if you have a 
few to rip, there is a Windows Media 
Player option to automatically rip a CD when you put one in and this let's you 
avoid the button.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

 CDEx doesn't use Gracenote by default, you have to install a different
 program called player which you can find on the gracenote site and this
 will
 allow you to export information from Gracenote to CDEx and, yes, this
 still
 works fine. GraceNote is far better than FreeCDDB, but both still exist
 and
 Gracenote complements the former.

Hi all,

I just googled it again and found out that the program I was referring to
isn't by gracenote. The other facts that I described are still valid,  as
you can read on the homepage.

The url for information and download is:
http://www.vuplayer.com/player.php

The program is free and, although not stated on the homepage, runs perfectly
well on my windows 7 64 bit machines.

   I'm guessing the cd collection being ripped wasn't available, some
   older titles and some audio books aren't referenced in there.  so
   amazon or google may be your best bet for track titles, and you can
   always use something like mp3 tag to tag your files if that's

 require the player program you guys are talking about. i just put the 
 cd in the drive, launched CDEX and just like magic, there they were, 
 the song titles properly in the right places.  Then I just hit f9 and 
 off it went, ripping to 320 k mp3.  Nice and fast.

Hello Steve:  Actually I am using Jaws; I've been all over that now
playing thing with Control-3, but see nothing about ripping in there!

Tom,

Am I remembering correctly that you are using Window-Eyes?  Window-Eyes has
some trouble with the rip button in 
Windows Media Player, but there are some ways around the problem.  The rip
button shows up on the Now Playing 
screen which you can bring up by pressing CONTROL-3.  However, if you have a
few to rip, there is a Windows Media 
Player option to automatically rip a CD when you put one in and this let's
you avoid the button.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

If it doesn't grab them automaticly, go to your cddb sub menu and arrow
down to freedb batch query and press enter.  I bet you that'll do the
trick.

 CDEx doesn't use Gracenote by default, you have to install a different
 program called player which you can find on the gracenote site and this
 will
 allow you to export information from Gracenote to CDEx and, yes, this
 still
 works fine. GraceNote is far better than FreeCDDB, but both still exist
 and
 Gracenote complements the former.

Hello Deb and list:  Actually I was going to send a message, telling of how
I finally had success with ripping a CD with Windows Media (it seems that
when you tab and land on the seek slider, then you have to use the arrow
keys to find the rip button!  Does this sound correct?  Anyhow it has my
track titles; now I'm going to put the CD in that I _really_ want to rip and
see if it'll work with that collection!  If so, maybe I'll just go on back
to using Windows Media and forget about CDEX for now!  Thanks again to all
of you for bearing with me through all of this!  It just shouldn't be so
difficult!

   Hello.

Surprised this doesn't seem to have been brought up already but the thread 
is long and there are loads of messages so I might have missed it. I am 
going to guess that the reason this no longer works is that the gracenet 
database is no longer available to the programme. I believe a license fee 
had to be paid to use the service in the first place, and while I could be 
wrong about that, the database did change ownership recently, and both 
Winamp and CDex no longer have access to it. WInamp is no longer being 
updated as I'm sure everyone knows, and I don't think much is being done 
with Cdex either. So it's likely that, unless another solution presents 
itself, you will just have to manually input your track information, or use 
a different programme.

RE: Ripping With CDEX: IsItNo Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?

[Tom Kaufman]

TYes...this would stand to rreason if Gracenote was being used in the remote
connection.  However (unless I'm missing something here) in my case, it
isn't!  Here again...all of the servers that are listed (in my case, there
are three) but I suppose it's possible that they all use Gracenote somehow?
Does this sound reasonable?

If it doesn't grab them automaticly, go to your cddb sub menu and arrow down
to freedb batch query and press enter.  I bet you that'll do the trick.

When i ripped my last couple of cds about a month ago I didn't even
require the player program you guys are talking about. i just put the cd
in the drive, launched CDEX and just like magic, there they were, the
song titles properly in the right places.  Then I just hit f9 and off it
went, ripping to 320 k mp3.  Nice and fast.

This very blindfriendly program will let you grab the information from

in the player.ini from which cdex is able to read it so you can also rip

Re: Ripping With CDEX: Is It No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?

I ripped a cd just a few weeks ago using CDEX so yes, it is quite 
definitely possible to have it grab the track titles from gracenote.  
speaking of which the proper spelling of that for future reference is g 
r a c e n o t e.
I'm guessing the cd collection being ripped wasn't available, some older 
titles and some audio books aren't referenced in there.  so amazon or 
google may be your best bet for track titles, and you can always use 
something like mp3 tag to tag your files if that's important to you.

CDEx doesn't use Gracenote by default, you have to install a different
program called player which you can find on the gracenote site and this will
allow you to export information from Gracenote to CDEx and, yes, this still
works fine. GraceNote is far better than FreeCDDB, but both still exist and
Gracenote complements the former.

Hello,

 

Looking for suggestions.

 

I have a large number of CD's that I want to rip to my Windows 7 pc.

Some of these CD's are music CD's and some are data CD'S with audio tracks.

I want the program to rip the CD and, for each song, go off to a database,
identify the song and artist and populate the MP3 tags.

Which program will do the job, be accessible and easy to setup?

Or, given that I have folders on my pc with untagged files, should I use one
program to rip and a second to populate the mp3 tags? 

On my pc, I have Windows Media Player Version 12.0.7601.17514; which I have
used for ripping, but I don't know if it can do the database look up and
populate the mp3 tags.

 

Thanks,

This is my advice.  Use cdburnerxp, or egsact audio copy.
A lot of  people use things like nero also.  I haven't used nero, but I have 
used these above programs.

Re: Ripping CDs With Windows Media

[Steve Jacobson]

Tom,

You can rip them in the version of Windows Media Player that I use, and I think 
it is the latest.  You can rip from the Now Playing window which is accessed 
with CONTROL-3, or is probably the window that 
has focus if Windows Media Player starts automatically when you put in a CD.  
Some screen readers don't read the controls, though.  Another approach is to go 
to the Tools and Options menu and choose the 
rip tab.  You can choose which format you want them ripped to there, and you 
can also check a box that will rip a cd automatically when you start Windows 
Media Player.

Unfortunately, how a lot of this works depends upon your autoplay settings 
and even your screen reader, but it's worth exploring before you get another 
program.  If your screen reader doesn't read the 
controls on the now playing window, NVDA should work.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Re: Ripping CDs With Windows Media

What I think was missed now that I have seen all of the messages is that there 
is no start Ripping in the options, he is right.  However, there is a control 
to start ripping on the now playing window, but some 
screen readers don't pick it up.  Tom, which screen reader are you using?  If 
you don't want to rip automatically, you might need to use NVDA for now.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Hello Steve and list:  I think I saw that now playing thing, but it didn't
sound like this was what I wanted!  Would be nice if these programs would
say it how they mean it!  Before, there was a definite start rip button
(or something that clearly indicated that this is what you wanted to do if
you wanted to rip) in case you missed it before, am running Jaws 15 with
Windows Home Premium.  When I first put the CD in, it gave me choices; one
of those was play CD using Winamp.  At the time, I wanted to hear the CD,
so this is what I chose; problem is that, now when I put the CD in, it just
brings up Winamp and starts playing!  There seems to be no way to get around
it; at least not as far as I can tell!  But thanks for your explanation and
will try to put your instructions to use!

RE: Ripping CDs With Windows Media

[Steve Jacobson]

Tom,

I agree with you, but there is a sort of logic to it.  If you are playing a CD, 
the CD is not what is Now Playing because it takes precedence over your 
libraries.

What happened is that you chose the WinAmp option to Autoplay when you put in 
a CD.  You can choose what Windows 7 does automatically with all kinds of 
media.  If you bring up the Start Menu, type 
Autoplay into the Edit box and then use the UP and DOWN ARROW to see what was 
found.  You should see a couple of Autoplay options that will help you.  You 
should be able to find out what will be done 
when a CD is inserted and see that your current choice is Winamp.  You can 
change that to Windows Media Player, or I think there is an option to have it 
ask you what you want done.  You should be able to 
close WinAmp and open Windows Media Player as well, but you might have to 
select Audio CD or something, I have not tried that.  

Also, when I just experimented, I could not get the rip button to show, but I 
think it is because I already ripped the CD I put in and it is getting too late 
for me to think clearly.  smile  I have ripped a CD within the 
past week, though, by turning on rip CD Automatically so that is another 
option that works.  It is in the Tools options and on the Rip Music tab.  
I'm curious about the Rip button now, though.

Best regards,

RE: Ripping CDs With Windows Media

[Tom Kaufman]

Hello Steve and list: Well thanks to Steve's instructions, I have ripped the
CD in question using Windows Media!  So I'm at least happy in that I was
able to do so!  Having said that, I find that it's harder to tell what the
thing is doing; with the Older version of Windows Media (version 11), you
could route the PC cursor to Jaws and kind of get a feel for how the
progress was coming along!  Not so with Windows Media 12 and Windows 7; at
least not as far as I can tell!  But I will experiment with this further; I
know that there will be times that I will actually _want_ Winamp to play the
CD!  So maybe there is a way to have Windows give me the choices whenever I
insert a CD?  Don't know if I'll tackle this tonight as I am winding down!
But thanks to Stee as well as others who have responded to my question! I at
least know that I can_ rip a CD with Winamp; oh yes, I need to say that once
you click now playing then if you either tab or arrow (I forget now what I
did) but the start rip thing does appear, which was what I wanted!  When I
first inserted the CD, Winamp kicked in and started playing!  Since that
wasn't what I wanted, I simply closed it out and went to Windows Media;
found that now playing that Steve told me about, and was on the right
track!  Thanks again!

Re: Ripping Audio Cassettes

[Gary Petraccaro]

Sure it will.  If you can record through a mic using a mic jack, you can get 
a cord with a resistor in it from radio shack and use that.  You can, if I 
remember right, specify the quality of mp3 the machine generates.  You would 
at worst have to figure a way to cut the tape files into segments.  The real 
question is should you do this at all.  If they're personal tapes, go for 
it.  But commercial tapes usually don't hold up well.  You have heard the 
tapes and know what condition they're in, of course.  My wife's commercial 
tapes were so bad after years that there was no way I could tune the 
recorder to get the best sound because there was no best sound.  Personal 
tapes usually have better quality.

Good luck.
Btw, make sure it's a stereo cable if the recordings are stereo.
Good luck.

Hi Evan, Does your girl friend have a Plextalk? If yes, she can hook it 
up to a cassette player, with a patch cord and record the casette to the 
flash card of the Plextalk. Then tell the Plextalk to convert that Daisy 
recording to CDDA format and it will record this onto a blank disk. She

Thanks Dan. I've heard of Soundforge. If I recall correctly, it's a 
comprehensive audio program, with a fairly steep learning curve, which 
would be intimidating to the person who wants to convert the cassettes, 
and also not cheap. Please correct me if I am wrong on any of this.
I haven't heard of Audio Addition. What kind of money are we talking

Guys, I need to find a method for ripping audio cassettes. I know there 
are

cassette decks with USB ports on them, but I need to find accessible
software to do the ripping.

I'm getting this as a Christmas present for my sweetheart, who is using 
JAWS
13 and a Windows 7 machine. Also, if possible, the software should be 
as

unintimidating as possible for her.

Anyone got any ideas that won't cost an arm and a leg?

Thanks much.

Re: Ripping Audio Cassettes

[Howard Traxler]

Is it possible to record stereo through the mic input?  It seems like, on 
some notebooks and netbooks, the mic input is mono only.

Sure it will.  If you can record through a mic using a mic jack, you can 
get a cord with a resistor in it from radio shack and use that.  You can, 
if I remember right, specify the quality of mp3 the machine generates. 
You would at worst have to figure a way to cut the tape files into 
segments.  The real question is should you do this at all.  If they're 
personal tapes, go for it.  But commercial tapes usually don't hold up 
well.  You have heard the tapes and know what condition they're in, of 
course.  My wife's commercial tapes were so bad after years that there was 
no way I could tune the recorder to get the best sound because there was 
no best sound.  Personal tapes usually have better quality.

Good luck.
Btw, make sure it's a stereo cable if the recordings are stereo.
Good luck.

Hi Evan, Does your girl friend have a Plextalk? If yes, she can hook it 
up to a cassette player, with a patch cord and record the casette to the 
flash card of the Plextalk. Then tell the Plextalk to convert that Daisy 
recording to CDDA format and it will record this onto a blank disk. She 
can then put this disk in her computer and import it. Although the music 
will now be on the computer, she will need to find it and rename each

RE: Ripping Audio Cassettes

[Hamit Campos]

If this is so, that is very strange for 2012. How old is the laptop or net
book we're talking about? Thought anything starting from 2007 I would think
would most likely be stereo. Very odd.
