Casey, If you want the best possible results, consider switching to Exact Audio Copy. It is free and is as accessible with a screen reader as CDEX is. With EAC, you can easily use the latest version of the Lame MP3 encoder. CDEX uses one from five years ago or so. EAC scans each disc several times and then rips the nearest match to perfection it finds. It sometimes will scan a track more than 20 times to create a digital file with the fewest errors. The ultimate would be to use Exact Audio Copy and FLAC, the Free Lossless Audio Codec. This will give you a version that sounds exactly the same as your audio CD at about one half to one third the file size. These rips are absolutely magnificent. FLAC files play in Winamp and on the Victor Reader Stream.

Hello okay thank you for that. Now where can you get this program from the free down load I mean and do you then just use the default settings or what settings do you use after you have down loaded and installed the program.

Re: needing some good audio settings for cd ex when ripping classic rock cds and cds with heavy metal on them
I haven't used CDEX in a while, and I'm not sure what you mean by "best." From what you're saying, I'm guessing you don't care about the size of the resulting file. For my part, I rip everything into MP3 files. In CDEX, you can use F4 to bring up Settings and control-tab over to the Encoder tab. Here, you can tab around and find a list of Quality Presets. There's an insane option, which will adjust all of the encoder settings to give you maximum quality with no regard for the size of the resulting file. I'm not sure if you see this preset with other file types or not. I'm no audiophile, so if you are then I'd suggest listening to others on this list, looking through the help for CDEX and researching other options and settings with something like Google.
