The Secure Rip Abort options will end ripping early if the disc is badly damaged, this is important as a secure ripper can sometimes try too much to recover a damaged disc, sometimes spending 2 hours on one disc, which A 'no brainer'Īnd safe option is to leave the cache as 1024KB.Ĭlear Read Cache with FUA is an option which can quickly clear the cache, it should only be used on compatible Plextor drives (the older true Plextors), there is an option to test for this feature. Detecting cache size is quite difficult, it is recommended that 3 or 4 different unscratched CDs are used to detect the value. The cache can beĭetected (it is likely to be much much smaller than the default value). The cd drive might not be compatible (the above black marker test would signal a c2 error about 1/4 of the way through the test).įor a secure ripper to work correctly the cache must be invalidated, this is normally done by reading an area larger than the drives cache, by default CD ripper sets a 1024KB cache. Place this CD in your CD drive and click Detect c2 Support, if your drive supports C2 pointers it will detect by the end of the disc - noting if a c2 pointer error is With a simulated damaged audio CD: take an audio CD which is never to be used again, with a black permanent marker pen draw a triangle onto the silver side of the CD (side which is normally placed downwards into a CD player): Before checking C2 Error Pointers for Error Detection, it is best to actually do a test If C2 pointers are supported use this ability (in other programs the recommendation might be to always disable C2 support, this is not true in CD Ripper). The settings for Ultra Secure depend on your CD drives ability to report C2 error pointers (C2 pointers tell CD Ripper when a section of audio has errors). Now is time to configure the CD drive for secure ripping, click Secure Settings next to the Secure (Recover Errors) line: Visit to determine the status of your CD drive. By over-reading (if the drive is capable) theįirst or last few samples can be read from the CD, in most instances these samples are silence. CD drives have a fixed offset, later in this guide the offset of the drive is found, for drives with a + offset the CD drive would have to beĪble to read into the Lead-out, where a drive with a - offset would have to read into the Lead-in. If your CD drive supports reading into the lead / lead out, check the option Read into Lead-in or Lead-out
For FLAC Level 5 is a good selection (a good balance between minimal compression time and reasonable compression).īy default ripped audio files are placed in the Music folder saved underĪrtist\Album\Track Number Artist - Title this option could be changed to suit using Set next to Naming.
Lossless audio codecs do not have many options, all compression modes are lossless, the higher modes require much more CPUĮncoding time and will only achieve an extra 1% compression. This guide will continue with FLAC as its Used for playback: iTunes prefers Apple Lossless and practically all
The choice of audio format depends on the programs Popular audio formats are FLAC andĪpple Lossless. Decide on an audio format, preferably a lossless audioįormat (a file compressed with a lossless encoder will decompress 100% This is where the real 'work' begins, effort put in at this stage will ensure best possible results - we have a saying 'rip once - rip right', ripping is a time consuming process, it should be only done once Using dBpoweramp for Apple OS X?
