Import/rip audio cd's thru Winamp?

Hello to All,

I am new in computer audio.
I want import/audio cd's in flac files thru winamp.
I am looking for your guide and procedures to be followed.
Highly appreciated your step by step the instruction.

-Whether free version of winamp can allow to download in flac files?
-How to import hi res/dvd/sacd in flac files thru winamp?
-How to set the sound card in notebook while import/rip the music files/cd's?

Is there any other software available to import c'd's in flac as simplest way?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

It does pay to have the imported music imported as best it can be for premium playback later on... it sets the entire stage for the process.

It also pays to try out a few media players too. As well as various file formats.

I noted these and other aspects in my aforementioned review with some links to them as well.

RE Rip/Burn speed

I've been using 4x for some years now on DVD copying, ripping, and CDs as well. Even with DL DVDs I can't recall the last time I got a coaster instead of an exact dupe.

Although faster has some appeal, 16x vs 4x amounts to what exactly?? 5 minutes more or less on a DVD? Less on a CD.

Time is no big deal for me. Several shots at archiving DL DVDs @ $2+ ea, does.... plus there's that added time then too.

Second the EAC idea.

Rip SACD & DVDA? Digitally? With a Notebook?

Good luck. By analog means? Sure.

Now there are some Blue ray ripping apps out there, and over at the computer audiophile I saw something on ripping DVDA... but it ain't a simple process.

I'm posting a review on a USB converter tomorrow that covers a bit of EAC's abilities with links for it's easy setup too.... look for that.

EAC is freeware.... Is dbPoweramp???

I thought waht I saw said it was a subscription based software, if both a liscense and continued updates were desired thereafter.
