Title: Ripping questions
Post by: THE KING OF PANGAEA on January 20, 2017, 06:14:54 pm
When I rip a CD and under options choose FLAC it saves it to an ape file.  I guess an ape file is lossless compression but how can it be converted to a FLAC file, or does that happen automatically?  My first time trying to use this. 

Also I tried to rip a musical work on 2 CDs and the first movement on CD 1 ripped and saved but disc 2, the work having the same name it seems to think it is the same CD and wont rip and save?

How do I deal with these two issues.

There are "options" and "settings" for ripping that permit you to choose output format and FLAC is one of them.

Common problem.  When you rip, edit the name of the discs to indicate that the first is "1" and the second is "2," etc..
