Can I use Easy CD creator 4 to rip cds?

Hi guys,

I have Easy CD creator version 4. Can I use it to rip cds?

Thanks,
Emil

Bleh, nevermind.

I can use it, but it only burns up to 56K. Which cd ripper can I use that at least can burn at 128k?

*EDIT* I just noticed on my computer, I have "Open MG Jukebox." Can I use that to rip cds? If so, how.

I use CDex. its working for me good. You can rip 192k if you want you dont have to rip 128k.

Good question. Mine only has listing for up to 56k. I am using Cdex, that stuff works great.

I am assuming that you're NOT running Windows XP. Also, I am assuming that you're not using a CD burner that burns CDs faster than 12x or 16x even at maximum speed. If you are, then you'll need to upgrade to version 5 or later.

Also, the MP3 encoders built into CD burning programs are usually the trial versions, which can only be used for a limited number of rips (say, no more than 30 rips), and at severely limited bitrates to the extremely low settings (and usually with a REALLY crappy alogarithm).

Gonna be the 3rd person to recommend CDex. Has enough/lots of options to give you a lot of control with your ripping but not as many options as Exact Audio Copy to give you headache.

you can rip cds as wav files. just put it in the recorder and bring up the tracks on the screen, highlight all the tracks you want,and right click on it, then you can select an option to save track or something, i dont remember,i dont have the program on my computer, but ya, and i think initially, it is set to save as mp3, but you can change it to wav

Yes, your assumptions are correct. I am running Windows ME, and my burner is not faster than 12x. I am using CDex, everything works great.
