Troops:
I have tried several rippers and encoders. Every one either rips only, =
or encodes only, or if it does both, its user interface was conceived by =
a blithering idiot, and takes as much or more user work than two =
separate applications. Worse yet, all the ones I have tried put one =
through the dot wav generation first, one CD at a time, and then all =
those gigs of dot wav files have to be purged after the MP3 encoder gets =
done. There's gotta be a better way!
Can anyone point me to a ripper that will convert a CDJ play list of CD =
tracks to MP3 files without me having to do anything other than define =
the track list and specify the destination hard drive folder, and leave =
the system alone to do its thing?
There is a similar problem converting LP's and R 2 R tapes as far as =
automation is concerned. One has to first convert the entire LP or tape =
to a dot wav. Then one has to edit out the start, inter selection and =
ending segues. Then clean up the noise. Then split apart the =
selections to individual dot wav files. Then convert each dot wav to =
MP3, and finally, at long suffering last, purge the gigs of dot wav =
clutter. UGH!!! Hasn't anyone come up with a less labor intensive way =
of doing this?
One last question. Is there a good car radio around that plays MP3 =
files on CDR/RW?
Much thanks in advance for any input.
Stan
