ripping with cdex
Hi, i havent joined in this discussion before, because i use cdex mostly for ripping audio books which i own. that is to put whatever number of discs there is in the book, in to same number of mp3 files on one disc for convenience sake. to do this, i press f10, it then invites me to give a file name. there is two choices from that point. the first is that the disc will be ripped in to a wave file. tab once, and you get a mp3 file. if you want to rip a music disc, there is a way of doing that so you get the indvidual songs, but i have forgotten how to do it. but if anyone wants to know, i can ask a friend of mine, who rips discs of that sort. brian.

In Windows Media Player, go to tools, options, control tab to Rip Music Page. Tab to rip CD when inserted and check that box. You should be good to go. - Original Message - From: "Byron Stephens" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2014 3:08 PM Subject: Re: Ripping With CDEX: IsItNo Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?

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!

Re: Ripping With CDEX: IsItNo Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
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 WInamp is no longer being updated as I'm sure everyone knows, and I don't think much is being done with Cdex either.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?
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?

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.

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

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.

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.

...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, I googled as well as visiting gracenote's official site and found no information regarding downloading this.

Re: Ripping With CDEX: Is It No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title 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. On 6/24/2014 2:29 AM, Tom Kaufman wrote: So where do you get this "player" program from?

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

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

Yup; looks like mine! So the next thing for me to do is to try a different CD and see what results this brings me! It was all just so perfect just a few short weeks ago!

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.

Have you made certain that the Data is in the FreeCDDB? Have yo u had better results with the CD at another time? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program CDEx?

How do I get more speed out of my usb cd drive when ripping with cdex
Hello Listers, I have a rather frustrating issue with my HP cd usb drive, and have for a long time, but have now become frustrated enough to try to get something done about it. No matter what setting I use within CDEX, I don't seem to get anything but what seems to be something like the lowest ripping speed possible. I do not have this problem when using Nero for copying data from my hard drive to a cd, but CDEX is a real head scratcher for me when it comes to ripping. I have the drive setting set to the standard setting for ripping, and 44 for drive speed, and have tried other drive settings, well at least the one associated with HP drives, but that one will rip to a file, but give me absolutely no audio, but only some faint sounding beeping noises, which aren't very helpful. As it is, I swear, it takes me maybe about 1 third or more of the time it would take to listen to the cd to rip the things. I am currently using 1.70 beta 2. I think this is the latest build. I am also still using XP if that might be a factor, but some how I don't think so. Anyway, if someone could give me an optimum setting or two to try, it would be greatly appreciated, Larry To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
