radified guide to ripping encoding cd audio with eac the lame mp3 encoder posted 11 apr 2001 p a g e o n e o f t e n this guide presents a method considered by the gurus of the encoding scene as the best way to rip encode cd audio by gurus i mean those people who ve taken the time to participate in blind listening tests and compare a variety of music encoded with a variety of encoders at a variety of settings sometimes called switches or arguments in other words we re talking about folks who are serious about their music because only by listening for yourself can you distinguish which encoders work best the word best used here refers to audio fidelity not ripping or encoding speed in other words this guide is more concerned with the quality of your encoded files than the time it takes to produce them you ll be glad to know all requisite software referenced here is free that s because the best programs in the world of ripping encoding are free so put away your credit card and break out your cd collection introduction if you ve ever downloaded mp3s from the original napster shut down by the courts in july 2001 or one of the contemporary file sharing services and found that those songs sounded like krap it s because the people who encoded those mp3s didn t know the ripping encoding mojo presented here no 128 kbps is not cd quality this guide will walk you through the steps of configuring exact audio copy eac the world s best cd audio ripper digital audio extractor actually i ll provide background info before referring you to my buddy from belgium satcp or my buddy from calgary chris myden no sense in reinventing the wheel with eac s vaunted secure mode we ll rip digitally extract your favorite songs from your favorite cds and encode those digital songs as high quality mp3 s using lame the world s best mp3 encoder or we ll compress them as exact digital clones using monkey s audio or one of the other popular windows based lossless audio compressors such as flac the lame mp3 encoder is so highly developed that even big companies like sony are ripping off parts of its source code shame on them and you can t get audio quality any better than lossless so you can see how this guide focuses on quality along the way you ll also be introduced to some alternative non mp3 encoders that might suit your needs even better such as ogg vorbis the open source encoder which looks promising and also the proprietary advanced audio coding aac codec which is the default encoder for apple s itunes the jukebox which powers the millions of ipods out there ipods also support the mp3 format which is still the most popular audio encoding platform on the planet the aac codec as we ll see is being developed as part of the mpeg 4 spec as a joint venture between companies such as dolby at t sony nokia and fraunhofer the german corporation which developed the original mp3 codec mp3 is part of the older mpeg 1 spec mp3 mpeg audio layer 3 mpeg is an acronym for m otion p ictures e xperts g roup this guide addresses the pro s con s of each codec so you can decide for yourself whether one of these newer encoders can meet yours needs better than the mp3 format which offers maximum compatibility this guide identifies the strengths weaknesses of each format so you ll have the insights necessary to make intelligent encoding decisions based on your own specific needs preferences such as amount of disk space you have available more space offers more options such as the ability to use lossless compression or the ultimate option of storing both a lossless lossy copy of every song you own number of cds you own more cds require more storage space and or smaller files which require more aggressive encoding settings which tend to hinder audio quality how good your hearing is younger ears tend to hear better older ears have trouble hearing higher frequencies younger listeners therefore tend to require higher quality audio files because they can hear imperfections more easily than us old farts quality of your audio hardware better equipment reveals encoding flaws more clearly which encourages the listener to use higher quality encoding methods settings type of music you listen to simple music tends to encode easier than complex music especially difficult is music which contains many transients format compatibility requirements hardware such as the ipod or rockbox have limited file support file restrictions if you share files with your friends you ll obviously need to use a format you both can play hardware restrictions as mentioned earlier hardware such as the ipod and rockbox have limited file support so you can see there are factors you need to consider everybody s situation is different and only you know what is right for you encoding is not a one size fits all proposition not any more you ll also see a side by side comparison of various audio codecs in action employing a variety of popular settings sometimes called switches or arguments i even share my own personal encoding preferences along with the reasoning behind my approach with your freshly encoded files you ll be able to create custom playlists and listen to your pristine sounding songs directly from your hard drive in any order you choose or hear them on your ipod rockbox or other digital audio player or burn them as custom cd rs containing a compilation of your favorite songs to play on your home stereo system in your car or perhaps even give to a friend as a personalized birthday present with the right software you can even cross fade the songs on your compilation cds so the next song starts playing as the current one fades out when done right this adds a touch of class to your cds you won t find in any store bought discs which contain a standard 2 second gap of silence between each song updated 19 dec 2008 p a g e o n e o f t e n copyright laws file sharing in the digital age here is where i used to discuss copyright laws file sharing in the digital age and deliver my disclaimer but this section has become so popular and controversial that i moved it to its own separate page see here copyright laws file sharing fair use in the digital age at the bottom of that short page is a link that will bring you back here or you can click the back arrow on your browser back already okay let s continue note that this guide does not address how to rip or encode dvd audio or video if that s what you re looking for check out doom9 nicky pages divx or videohelp i m sure you ll find what you need at one of those fine sites for your hypertext convenience this guide can be found at both these fine radified urls http mp3 radified com http mp3 radified com cdripper_mp3encoder htm it has become surprisingly popular since being discovered by search engines try searching for the terms ripping cd audio or mp3 encoding with any popular search engine such as google or yahoo and you ll see what i mean of all the radified guides this one has been most difficult to keep current links tend to rot faster here than in any other guide because the field of audio encoding is still evolving this guide receives more kudos than any other i ve written perhaps this is cuz people understand how difficult it is to maintain a guide on this evolving topic our goal is to raise the quality of encoded files everywhere for an idea of what folks are saying about this guide not necessary check out a sampling of sites such as google directory for mp3 techzonez hotmp3gear cadtutor listed near the bottom under where can i find more also torrentbox nostuff mememachinego slimdevices raduga uk dance ask jack at guardian technology mp3 faq listed under l ossless audio dmoz open directory hand picked links lots more out there as with all radified guides i m interested in hearing your ideas about ways you feel this guide might be improved it s this continuous input from members of the encoding community over the years that have helped make this guide so popular contact let s get busy ripping encoding this guide contains 10 pages and 9 steps to audio encoding nirvana organized like so page 1 introduction you be here page 2
