Okay, I would like to rip my entire CD collection and create a digital
library so that all of the computers on our home network can populate the
media players (wmp & itunes) on their computers, and eventually on the family
room tv if we get some type (apple or wmp or ?) of a media player for it.
Also my kids have ipods and I have itunes on my mobile phone.
I would like to rip the music to the highest practical quality. I believe
that the upper limit is set by the audio CD's which are 44khz and 16 bit.
File storage size is not an issue. Also I would like to rip the files to a
format which is the most universally accepted so that we have the greatest
chance of them being compatible with wmp, itunes, and whatever else might
come along.
I'm thinking that the uncompressed wav file might fit this bill. I've begun
to experiment with this but am not crazy about the results so far. If I rip
the CD's to wav with wmp 11 and import them to wmp's library all artist,
album, & track info is automatically populated. If I import these wav files
into itunes 8 all is good except all song names begin with their track
numbers. Itunes "get cd track names" won't correct these song names unless
the cd is ripped with itunes. Manually correcting the song names is not an
option. If I rip the CD's to wav with itunes 8 and import them to itunes
library all artist, album, & track info is automatically populated. When I
try to add these to wmp 11 it won't add the songs to the library. If I right
click on a file and play it with wmp, it plays fine, and then adds the song
to it's library with a track number as part of the song name, but no artist
or album information. Manual correction is not an option. I tried using NCH
Express Rip but all of the wav files imported into wmp with each song being
an album, and all of the artist and song names were mixed up. Again manual
correction is not an option.
I would greatly appreciate any input.
