Ripping w/dbpoweramp or JRiver

Have a PC with Windows 7. Just downloaded trial version of dbpoweramp, but really struggling with it. I had no trouble with iTunes, but thinking this could drive me to an early grave.

Check out the CD ripping guide at computeraudiophile.com for an in-depth, step by step guide to setting up dbpoweramp for ripping. I follow it to a t and works wonders. A set it and forget it kind of thing for me.

FWIW, I use JRiver for playback, and use dbpoweramp in a multipurpose computer and JRiver on a different computer solely dedicated to playback.

Lewinski01 - thanks much for pointing me to the ripping guide. Very informative and helpful. Will start ripping my cd library tomorrow morning.

I also have a PC with Windows 7 & Jriver. I ripped all my Cd's using Itunes in lossless and play them back in WASAPI through Jriver. Took me a year of messing around but it sounds & works extremely well.
Iam with you on the eraly grave speach. I wanted to enjoy the music prior to expiring.
Good luck, John

Mastered basics of dbpoweramp and ready to re-rip my 600 cd library and replace music files that I lost. Wife blames loss on recent iTunes upgrade. Don't know; but can't find the files. So, re-ripping in AIFF using dbpoweramp and saving on new external HD. Hoping to buy Bryston BDP-1 & BDA-1 to replace Arcam FMJ 23T player and eliminate need to load/unload little silver (and gold) discs. Am I getting lazy? Yep!
