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

I am having a problem with dbPowerramp, after using it for years. I am ripping CD's, they show up in the correct folder (iTunes), but there is nothing on them -- 0 bytes!

All the disc info shows up (artist, album, songs, etc.), I see it ripping and doing the checks, no problems are reported when finished, and it is set to put the rip in iTunes/iTunes media/Music, where it always has been set. It shows up in that folder, but when I look at Properties, there is no data!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mapman,

No, because when I rip with iTunes it works fine and is where it should be.

Zd542, I tried that but it did not work. I will try it again and see what happens.

Thanks for your help.

Mapman and Zd542,

Thank you for your assistance. I have tried every suggestion you made and nothing helped. There are no errors shown when I rip. I tried ripping to FLAC, no relp. I tried different destinations. No help. I tunes was off. No help. I am stumped. I will go on dbPoweramp forum and see if they have any ideas. I do not want to delete and re-order, because it has worked without a hiccup for years.

Thanks again.

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.
