Ripping CDs


I would like to be able to rip CDs. My streamer, Cambridge CXNv2 doesn’t have that capacity. although it can store CDs. What do I need to rip CDs?

I use AShampoo Burning Studio.  It's the least fussy burning software I've found.  Very inexpensive.  You can RIP or BURN music, to and from ISO files or whatever you need.  It also looks up the song data on Gracenote and names your RIPped files accordingly.  I've found that not all CDs have the data burned in their songs so you have to name the files yourself.  Nevertheless, it's great software that I use all the time.

For a computer, you only need a basic machine, perhaps a used laptop with Windows (10 preferably, but it works with 7) and a CD/DVD drive.  You can also get a USB CD/DVD drive if the laptop or PC doesn't have one.  It doesn't have to be an expensive endeavor.

You must have some kind of computer to be on Audiogon?

I use JRiver. It’s great and inexpensive. Also don’t get artwork from Discogs. It’s crappy and too small. Get it from Album Art Exchange. I’ve uploaded over 3000 images there myself and there’s hundreds of contributors. Or use Fan Art TV.

One doesn’t need a computer for this site.  You can access it with a smartphone, but you can’t burn CDs with a smartphone
