can't get clean mp3/wma files from my drive AARG!
Get a niffy program called CDEX, it is free and does an
excellent job ripping your CD's to MP3's, make sure you make them at least stereo quality. -----Original Message----- Using a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop with a fixed-bay 8x CD- RW/DVD-ROM drive (a Samsung CDRW/DVD SN-308B). I've had this computer over a year and have *never* been able to get totally clean copies of my music collection, with either .mp3 format in MusicMatch Jukebox Plus OR .wma format in Windows Media Series 9. I would really like to be able to copy all my music onto this computer and put the CDs in storage forever. Windows media copies the files fine but there are (lots of) intermittent blips/scratchy sounds. MMJB is even more problematic-- most of the time it just displays an error message 20 seconds into the encoding and has to quit. When it does completely encode a CD, most of the time there are similar little cuts in the music. A real drag. Reading/burning data cds and burning music cds is no problem, which leads me to think that there is no problem with the drive itself. I'm hoping that's the case anyway because like I say, it's fixed-bay so it's here for good. System runs fine otherwise, Pentium III, 1 GHz, 256 MB RAM. A software problem? Both players also work fine otherwise. Just copying the damn CDs to the hard drive is the problem. Thanks for any help y'all. . |
