I want to rip a CD that i bought and add it to my playlist. When i try to copy and paste tracks, however, the pasted tracks are blank… How do I do this? ---

i used audio grabber but somehow it dislikes WinXP very much… so I don’t rip CDs anymore but download the tracks from Kazaa (which I guess is legal since I have the original) ---

AHHH! NOT AUDIO GRABBER! I used to use that, it was a pile of crap and almost never ripped the songs I wanted. NEVER EVER EVER use audio grabber ---

ah, audiograbber, my first ripper. :love: i used that thing to encode my first MP3. Then, when I was simply ripping CDs to WAVs, I hadn’t the clue whether this small file would actually play. I found Winamp (then like 0.9 beta or something) and it played! i even remember the bitrate: 56kbps, 44100Hz. I told all my friends about this new _ **thing** _. They couldn’t believe I shrunk a 30mb WAV to like 3mb. Now it sucks. Audiocatalyst tried to redeem it but failed. The XING encoder sucked and will always suck. ---

I used audiograbber only to rip cd files to wave and then use the dos lame encoder - which worked well… Nowadays I use wind’hoes media P and create wma’s - mp3s are over for me =) ---

Ever tried Blaze Media Pro? I’ve used that forever riping tracks from CDs, you even can use this built in program and it’ll rename all the tracks according to the album by itself. ---
