| 120427 | 2003-02-15 08:52:00 | Good Susan.. give it a try.. Click on the options.. look at all, like player,recorder, music library, etc.. each needs to be setup as you desire. Even in the recorder, one needs to choose the source input, like linein, mic,cd, etc..& bitrate, & file types like mp3, wma, wav, etc.. endless.. You will see very many options, and once familiar with them, you will be happy.. I now have some 1000's of mp3's from p2p, ripped cd's, vinyl & tape, most have been burn't to Cd directly with MM.. I cant detect any difference between a cd, and the same audio cd rippped & burn't with MM on any cd player on my system. Best wishes.. Bazza. |

| 120428 | 2003-02-15 09:15:00 | Thanks, Susan, for mentioning CD Wave Editor.Have installed it and am very impressed,as now I can record from a tape etc and not sit here to stop/start the recording to get the separate tracks. :-) Bazza, I don't agree with saving from cd quality to MP3 then back again to CD.As another Hi-Fi nut (my first love) I can hear the difference between a copied CD and the original.This using a standalone CD recorder in the stereo system.Mind you,the last system we compared the 2 in was over $80,000 worth! (Not mine) :D And I will have a look at MM too,thanks. |

| 120429 | 2003-02-15 09:33:00 | OK, Neil, well then, you will have to try MusicMatch.. I give up. In many posts, I have recommended MusicMatch following my experience with it, as an audio HiFi fanatic. But either it is ignored or understood. End of story, as Susan says. |

| 120430 | 2003-02-15 09:58:00 | Thanks for that info Bazza . I would have tried MusicMatch first if it wasn't for the fact that there is a very similar sounding program available and I originally downloaded the wrong one . And I didn't know it could record, I thought it was just a player . Never mind, all is not lost, there are a few tapes left to do . :-) |

| 120431 | 2003-02-15 10:54:00 | ive been using musicmatch for 3 years to record my vinyl, and nothing comes close . . . recording at 192 kbs isnt a prob unless you have supersonic hearing you wouldnt be able to tell the difference if you had ripped it to wave . im a dj and music lover and theres no real need to save your recording as wav, no one as yet has been able to tell the difference between a cd of done where all the songs were originally mp3 and another cd of songs saved from the original source as wav file . the advantage of ripping directly to mp3 as previously mentioned is that mp3s take up far less space on the hard drive . musicmatch converts to wave on the fly while burning an audio cd . musicmatch the best ripper/player/recorder going, and for three years it hasnt ever let me down . peace |

| 120432 | 2003-02-15 11:56:00 | Thankyou Term for confirming my post about MusicMatch.. I was about to give up.. Nobody seemed to believe me, about MusicMatch. It is the best, for dealing with audio MP3 music. You dont want to know? Well go to htp/:www.musicmatch.com |

| 120433 | 2003-02-15 12:59:00 | Howdy Bazza, I also use MusicMatch Jukebox and have found it to be rather good. I especially appreciate the MP3Pro which means that my music files only take up just over 3.8GB of my hard drive. Heaps better than the 12GB for WMA files. I should point out though that I have only used Windows Media Player and MusicMatch so I am definitely no expert in media players. And thanks to everyone for pointing out that I can actually transfer my albums on to the PC as well. Now all I have to do is pick up the cable and move the old stereo in with the computer and all will be sweet with the world :) |

| 120434 | 2003-02-16 00:15:00 | Bazza no one listened to you. Because you werent answering the question. It was never stated that the music was to be kept on the hard drive, rather they just want to send there reocrded music to the CD then delete it off the drive. Your recommendation results in a greater loss of quality than my method, and for that reason i find it hard to believe your a hi-fi nut because if you were you would know this. Anyway i think people have gathered a lot of info from this thread, whether it was in regards to MP3's or CD's |

| 120435 | 2003-02-16 02:45:00 | Hey hey hey!! :O I value being exposed to everyone's opinion and will ultimately make my own mind up what I do with the information given. Please don't start knocking each other down just because someone believes different to yourself. Everyone is entitled to their opinion just as much as the other person is to choose not to agree and no one is entitled to force their beliefs on anyone else. There is a lot of good info in here -- many thanks to all who have contributed. I will keep this thread bookmarked to refer other people to in future if necessary. :-) |

| 120436 | 2003-02-19 07:41:00 | I have resisted replying to this post for a few days to avoid further disagreement . Roofus: You are of course technically correct . I understand that, and feel suitiably chastised . I am sure your method gives excellent results . The poster asked: Can I transfer tape to CD-R . and you gave excellent advice to do that . The MusicMatch alternative I mentioned is just another way to do the same . In practice for tape to CD the results would be very similar . Of course just like your method, the files on the HDD can be deleted . As such I consider I answered the posters question . Sure I also mentioned other features of the MusicMatch program which deal with music playing, recording, ripping, displaying, burning & labeling to CD-R, most of which were relevent to the question, and illustrate the capabilities of MusicMatch . Two other posters, Term X & Gorela confirmed my recommendation of MusicMatch . I wonder, have you tried it ? You could be surprised . I thankyou for Roofus for your helpful comment, and I look forward to your continuing advice on this forum . Cheers & Best Wishes, Bazza . |
