It’s the same encoding back-end I used on my Mac and the results are every bit as good. The process is a little more involved, but once setup, it’s mostly a three-click operation, uses AccurateRip for bit-accurate copies of your music. So, since I’ve been locked away in my den of isolation, I thought, what better time to rip a bunch of our jazz back catalog from CD? I’ve come up with a set of tools to mostly replicate what I was doing on my Mac, using a process I’ve previously written about back in 2016. They’re mostly terrible, often linking to questionable for-pay shareware, and occasionally even copied from other sites doing exactly the same thing. For the most part, it’s been a great experience, but one constant source of irk is that anytime I need to lookup what people are using to do any particular task, the internet serves up page after page of, “Top $X Windows Apps to Do $Task”. I’ve been living in Windows without touching my old Mac Pro for going on five months now. Also, there are no fine controls on the output format. Me: Those apps use dithering and error correction on the music you’re ripping. NETPC: Dude, just use iTunes/Windows Media Player/whatever. Are you really going to spin 2000 words on ripping CD music? In 2020? In the middle of a global pandemic? (non-existent third party commentator) Hold up.
