Banshee cant find their metadata, but Windows Media Player can. My question would be - why would you even bother? As I mentioned in another Windows Media thread. I have some CDs that I want to convert to FLAC.

I actually uninstall it for all workstations as part of my standard setup routine. Me - I live for the best possible audio (and metadata storage) experience and WMP is not even a part of my thought process. Should be set for now and the future.Īll the above being said - if you are not into audio quality, the absolute best use of your "ripping" time - or maybe just find these other options (including EAC) to be too complicated or too much work - then go ahead and use WMP. I tried using EAC but in my opinion the setup process takes to long. I would like to re-rip my entire CD collection to FLAC & Lame MP3 (256kbps or 320kbps). Retain your FLAC file as masters and back them up to two separate copies. My CD collection is all ripped to WAVE and MP3 (192kbps) using Window Media Plyaer. I strongly recommend ALL mobile copies go to vbr MP3 200kbps or higher.

#How to rip cd to flac windows media player pro
Use dbPowerAmp or EZ CD-DA Extractor Pro to rip your CDs to FLAC, tag them up and then use either program to create your mobile copies for work or where ever you want to play them. I remember having a bitch of time with a couple of wma lossless rips a few years back. Can be a bit difficult to properly convert back to another format without key tools at your disposal. I would avoid Windows Media Lossless as well - good format but obscure outside of pro studio circles etc. It is lossless, has the BEST metadata support, has excellent industry support, software support and since it's open source - is not shackled to some proprietary BS format like Windows Media.
