Looking for a CD -> MP3 ripper
-
freeware or otherwise that can handle CD's that have individual tracks without gaps in the sound between tracks. For example, I'm trying to rip my CD of Michael Nyman's first 3 string quartets. On the audio CD they play seamlessly even though quartet number 1 consists of tracks 9 to 20. On an MP3 rip there are a couple of seconds between tracks which does kinda kill the flow... Anyone know of a CD -> MP3 ripper that will eliminate this gap? Is this even possible? I'd be happy if it ripped to a single large MP3 file without track delineations just so's I lose that annoying silence between tracks... Rob Manderson I'm working on a version for Visual Lisp++

I've ripped mix cd's with Audiograbber without problems.

CDex gets my vote.

Thanks but CDex exhibits the behaviour I want to avoid. Otherwise it's an excellent program but it doesn't provide (so far as I've found) a way to avoid the gap between tracks. Rob Manderson I'm working on a version for Visual Lisp++

I don't know is Easy CD-DA Extractor[^] helping you, but it have free 30 evaluation version.

Rob - are you sure it's the ripper and not the player that causes this behaviour? I've got loads of ripped CDs in WMA format. On my Creative player, I get gaps in the playback. On my PC with Windows Media 9 codecs, I get gapless playback... Of course, that's not MP3, so I may be completely off base :-) Stuart Dootson 'Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p'

did you try a "partial extract"? haven't tried it myself and i dont have any audio cds to hand to test but the info in the help file sounds like it might be what you're looking for.

Stuart, No I'm not sure - hence my comment about ripping to a single large MP3 without track delineations. I suspect you may be right - it might be my player. It makes sense to rip on a track by track basis - and it also makes sense that a cheap player might need some time to find the next track using the filesystem. I can see myself in Frys sometime soon (after I get back from The Philippines) driving some pimpled kid mad as I take my mp3 cd from player to player insisting on that zero gap :) Rob Manderson I'm working on a version for Visual Lisp++

If none of the rippers support it during extract, you might need to get an audio editing application and merge them together manually.

I did try AudioCatalyst many moons ago, I liked it :-D. I can only assume AudioGrabber is as good. Ant. I'm hard, yet soft.
