currently I use the latest version of CDex, but even with CD speed set to 1.. some of my more scratched music cds wont ripp without atleast a 1x or 5x skipping. I only store ripped albums were CDex gave an "OK" on all tracks meaning they dont contain skips I assume. Now I'm useing the Sony DRU510a drive, so that shouldnt be the problem at all. I was wondering if there are some programs that can use extreme measures to ripp a song off a scratched disk by ripping it even slower than a CD read speed of 1 or so. Any ideas? thanks
btw, is CDex what I should be useing in the first place? To me, it's freeware and gets the job done. No spyware attached.(unless adaware removed it awhile back)
My normal ripping settings are:
Coder: LAME Mp3 Encoder (heard it's not lame at all.. actually one of the best?)
MPEG 1 bitrate min: 192kbps bitrate max:224kbps : (sounds the same to my ears, plus saves alot of space)
Very high quality (q=0) : (barely an extra size difference, but I want what's best)
On the fly mp3 codeing (i tried turning this off sometimes to help, but some tracks still give the skips)
Output samplerate: 44100
VBR Method: Disabled (dunno what this is.. any ideas?)
VBR Qual: greyed out
Mode: Stereo (better than mono)
Thread Priority: Normal (dunno what this is either.. any ideas?)
