SOLVED: CD ripping - can default sound quality be altered?

<< < (3/3)

Jay Fora:
Thank you everyone. I will try the free trial of DBpoweramp to see if that makes any difference. A friend has a copy of this CD set with the booklet still inside, so I will also look at that in case SACD or HDCD is mentioned.

Also look to see if anything like "Studio Quality" or "Master Quality" are mentioned as not all 24 bit recordings were made using HDCD.

Jay Fora:
It turns out DBPoweramp was the solution in this case. However unlikely to need it for any other CD, so don't want to buy it. Will most likely rip with MC in future.

jharrelljr:
CDs just sound slightly muffled after ripping. 

Tried Exact Audio Copy and that made a good rip, why can't JRiver do it properly?

Matt:
I rip CDs often (to APE) and JRiver has worked flawlessly for me.  I recommend ripping in "Secure" mode so every sector is read at least twice.  At the end it reports any possible problems.

So if you're still having problems, please install the latest MC, pick secure ripping, and a lossless format like APE or FLAC.  Then let us know.
