old music back from the dead!

[cuda 572]

I spent the day reviving old cd discs I had. I decided to get more serious about my music collection and not accept a lot of the mp3 music files I had since I have saved most of the bad cd's I have ever owned. The problem was in the past I had tried to copy the cd and if it did not complete then the operation failed. (all the songs not just a bad 1 or 2) I have always used the trick of wetting down the cd's and drying them then placing them in the PC but I bought dBPoweramp cd ripper software, this allowed me that if a disc could mount in windows and display it's name the ripper software could attempt to grab the songs and try to create flac files from them, if the operation failed or took too long I could just skip that song and I could at least get the songs I could save. So I didn't get all of them but I got a lot of them! Now I am playing them off of a drive connected to my oppo 95 with the analog outputs to the sunfire! I am loving it!

You might try investing in some of these products to save your CDs. Most folks don't know it but if the label side of the disc is damaged it will affect the disc as well.

 

Anyway, I have fixed many a skipping CD with this stuff...
