Right now i'm using cdex with lame to rip to mp3. Anyone know any better programs? Also, does anyone know about other formats like .ogg and .shn. I cant find much about them except people say they are better then .mp3.

I use a program called "FreeRip", you should be able to find it with a Google search. I don't know much about Ogg though, except that I don't use it.
3-D Pong's bro!

Yeah, I just figured out that all you need to do is download a codec and then you can rip to that format, like ogg or shn.Originally posted by Fixion

I gave up on Windows based audio extraction long ago. CD Paranoia for Linux blows everything else out of the water. I've actually been able to restore two CDs that wouldn't even play in any disc players I owned. One looked as though it had been stored in a box of gravel, another had developed 'disc rot,' where the silver reflective layer inside the disc actually dissolves to the point where you can see through the disc (this occurs to many CDs made long ago with earlier technology).
CD Paranoia ripped both of them fine, and hasn't given me a bad, artifact riddled rip after converting about 600 CDs to WAV.
From WAV to MP3, I'll use LAME. From WAV to OGG, I'll use oggenc.
From my experience though, MP3 at high quality VBR is fine on even the most high end stereos. While OGG is 'technically' superior to MP3 since it's not a lossy compression, most humans can't discern problems in quality in MP3s that are correctly encoded with LAME at 256+ bit rates.
MP3's failings in encoding fall outside the realm of human hearing, so unless you're encoding music for your dog, OGG Vorbis isn't necessary.Comment
