| 1319007 | 2012-12-18 11:03:00 | I tried to rip an old CD to my PC but failed at the last title. Tried 3 times with same results. WinAmp ver 5.623. Win 8 Pro Anyone here successfully ripped a music CD with WinAmp? Cheers |

| 1319009 | 2012-12-18 12:07:00 | Yeah heaps, loved Winamp back in the day. What's the disc? It's probably got some anti-copying stuff... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1319010 | 2012-12-18 17:56:00 | CDEX used to work for me (CD EXtractor). Using an older, slower drive might also give some advantage. From memory I think CDEX lets you choose the max read speed... the slower speed allowing more opportunity to beat a bad read. Haven't used it in years. What's a CD anyway? |

Bought it in 1984. Playback is still perfect. |

| 1319013 | 2012-12-18 20:55:00 | Try windows media player, seeing as you will already have it and it's actually a pretty good ripper. Just turn off DRM and set it to MP3 at your preferred bitrate and you should be fine. 1984 predates all the CD copy protection schemes on audio CDs I think so it's probably not that. Myself I like DBpoweramp, I even paid for it. For occasional use though media player is fine. |

| 1319015 | 2012-12-18 21:40:00 | I've been using Winamp (latest free version) to rip CDs, no problems. | the_bogan (9949) | ||
| 1319016 | 2012-12-18 22:05:00 | Windows Media Player works OK and have ripped it successfully. :) Don't understand why Winamp doesn't work? I've downloaded and installed the latest free version but still doesn't work. I prefer winamp than WMP, for no reasons, that's why didn't try it earlier on. |
