Db Power Amp - is there a better ripper out there?

I had been using iTunes to rip for a long while but on those occasions when it failed I turned to MAX.

Then I heard about DB Ripper and the albums I've ripped so far have significantly better SQ than either iTunes or MAX

I also noticed the file sizes are larger with db poweramp.

Am I correct in assuming this is because all the data is now there?

Or is db poweramp augmenting the data?

So, if you know of better ripping software please post it here

Thanks in advance

My solution ($29 for uop tp 5 computers if you own a previous version) was to upgrade to the current version of dbPoweramp, and the problem disappeared. Now the size of the files ripped shows up in Properties and all works well.

Who knows what the problem was. Had it for years and it worked flawlessly, then stopped. $29 eliminated much gnashing of teeth. Cheaper than therapy!

Thanks, all.

Old versions of software will run into problems eventually and need to be upgraded.

I bought and downloaded Dbpoweramp less than a year ago and has run fine to date.

Neal do you know the latest version number and any idea when released? If newer than what I have I will consider an upgrade as well.

Also I wonder if re-installing teh old version alone would have fixed the problem. SOme times files needed get overwritten by other apps and a re-install is all that is needed. I don't think one woudl lose anything much with a reinstall of Dbpoweramp. You might have to redo your settings if customized but that's about all I can think of.
