| 1279713 | 2012-06-05 02:35:00 | Ripping sister's CD collection to my external to put on her netbook, but I don't have itunes since it's apple software. Format I'm using is WMA lossless, will her itunes be able to handle syncing/converting it alright, or should I convert everything to MP3 320k? It'll be going on her ipod/phone/appledevicethatihate |

| 1279714 | 2012-06-05 02:46:00 | I dont think Itunes supports WMA. Altho according to Wikipedia The Windows version of iTunes can automatically transcode DRM-free WMA (including version 9) files to other audio formats, but does not support playback of WMA files and will not transcode DRM protected WMA files. Telestream, Inc. provides free codecs for Mac users of QuickTime to enable playback of unprotected Windows Media files. These codecs are recommended by Microsoft. |

| 1279715 | 2012-06-05 04:46:00 | Alright, looks like I'll just need to biff em all into 320k mp3's then. Only got about halfway through the stack, they took ages because some are so scratched they won't read at high speed, and others are so damaged they're unusable. Two had the top paint or whatever it is (the rainbow stuff) peel off, and another one had cracks round the center so like hell i'm putting that in my drive. |

| 1279716 | 2012-06-05 06:43:00 | Why don't you download iTunes and rip them on that. You could then rip using AAC | plod (107) | ||
| 1279717 | 2012-06-05 07:56:00 | Because itunes is apple and the moment I put anything apple related on my PC i'll have to set fire to it. I have an mp3 player not an ipod, and a pc not a paperweight. |

| 1279718 | 2012-06-05 08:40:00 | Rip whatever with media player then | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1279719 | 2012-06-05 09:08:00 | You could try a cd fix utility, e.g. recovery toolbox (www.recoverytoolbox.com) or cd check. (www.kvipu.com) Maybe mp3 checkmate. (checkmate.gissen.nl/) EAC (http:) might be a good ripper, as it reduces speed for errors. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1279720 | 2012-06-05 09:10:00 | Quite seriously, I don't think slowing it down is gonna make a difference. Some of them are water damaged and such, and others make WMP crash and burn while trying to read them. Others whirr away but the rest sit there spinning very, very slowly. | 8ftmetalhaed (14526) | ||
| 1279721 | 2012-06-05 10:56:00 | The label side is the bit that has data, the other side is just a plastic shield, so any scratches that don't go right through can be filled or buffed out. If the metallic bit is damaged it's toast. I have fixed some really nasty scratches, if it's not reading there's not much to lose. Repair kits are ok, or brasso and a fine cloth works too. You can rip to aac with other software if the WMA doesn't work. |
