#DBPOWERAMP VIDEO CONVERTER REVIEW TRIAL#

Discogs wants me to review the seller, which I haven't done yet. So I repaired it with CueTools with the help from forum moderator on the HA site. It played fine, but both EAC and CueRipper found errors in the same spot, so it wouldn't match the database. I did a search of the catalog numbers and bought a matching one off Discogs.

I don't think I could buy it new because it was from the '87 pressings and they have since remastered Beatles CDs. It's not an uncommon disc, it's the Beatles Revolver, so no chance it wouldn't be in the database. It was a replacement CD because I lost the original, I think I left it in the CD drive of an old laptop that died. The batch converter thing they mention might come in handy if I want to make MP3s for my phone. I am going to try the free version of dbPoweramp for a few rips, and if it streamlines the process, will not have a problem forking over the $40. Hydrogen Audio has forums with a lot of information for EAC/CueTools, though it can get very technical at times. It gets high praise from many for ease of use and features.

dbPoweramp costs $40 and the others are free, but there is a free trial so you can try before you buy. The other cool thing about CueTools is its ability to repair rips so they match the database, which I had to do on one CD I bought recently from Discogs. I know you can change the placeholders in EAC to accomplish the same thing, but sometimes getting the syntax correct can be confusing. I love that it sorts chronologically by default so albums within the folder are sorted according to year instead of alphabetically. It puts the files in folders according to Artist/Year-Album/Tracks in that order by default. Anyway, CueRipper, which isn't super intuitive either, at least gave me good results off the bat. I know guys say just run the wizard and it will be fine for most needs, but I didn't find that to be the case. I thought EAC was a bit too complicated to get set up, too many boxes to tick or un-tick, and not knowing what any of it means in a practical sense.

I'm new to ripping my CDs and I have so far tried CueTools (CueRipper) and EAC for creating flac files on my Windows 10 computer.
