In March 2005 we will release our cool new GUI and RipSmart, our special ripping modes that uniquely take advantage of the RBX1600/Sony jukebox(es) combination. With our 1ClickRip, you can automatically rip your custom playlist of tracks across multiple CDs, or simply rip down your whole collection - entirely unattended!

There are many different software choices, and each has it's pros and cons. Some will encode as you rip the audio, some work better with SCSI drives etc. Rippers of choice are WinDAC, audiograbber, CD-Copy, CDDA and many others. For more information go to: http://www.layer3.org/software/rippers.html or http://www.mp3.com/windows/cdrippers.html

A rip current occurs when there is a build up of excess water in front of the sandbar. The water wants to flow downhill through the sandbar but it is blocked, building up pressure. The pressure is released through the point where the sand bar is weakest. This creates a hole in the sand bar where all of this excess water flows through at a very fast rate. Anything or anyone caught in the pull of the rip current will be pulled out past the sand bar until the pressure is alleviated.

A rip is a strong current running out to sea on a surf beach. It can easily take swimmers from shallow water to several hundred metres offshore. If you are caught in a rip remember to relax, raise your arm for help and wait to be rescued.

Another useful program, if you have hardware which presents you with difficulties in the area of Digital Audio Extraction, or if you are trying to rip from CDs in poor condition, is Exact Audio Copy, available (free again) from: Musicmatch Jukebox is also a good program, especially now that the latest version includes the new Fraunhofer MP3 encoder.

Not using the normal Nullsoft CD / Line-in Plugin, no it isn't, because using this plugin Winamp doesn't actually read in the sound from the CD when 'playing' CDs. Like Windows CD Player, Winamp simply tells your CD drive to play in audio format and which track to play, and the sound then goes via the audio cable which connects your CD drive to your sound card - this can be simply verifified by disconnecting this cable... if you do, you won't hear any sound when you 'play' a CD in Winamp.

bull;You recorded it on a CD-RW disk. Most newer computer drives read these fine but very few audio players will read them at all. bull;You recorded the CD as a data CD or as a multi-session CD. Audio players will only read audio CD's, and even on audio CD's, they will only recognize the first "session". Computer drives, on the other hand, can easily read data CD's, and can read CD's recorded in multiple sessions.

Hero Audio Converter supports multiple hardware acceleration. When you convert CD to Mp3, it will spend about 20 second to 30 second per file.

refer to the Music Man Read me in the documentation folder that comes with Music Man or download the Music Man Read me (pdf) now To rip to MP3 or convert to MP3, the LAME MP3 encoder must be installed separately. For more information, see the System Requirements

It sounds as if you're having some problems with your digital audio extraction. Exact Audio Copy is a good, free ripping program which seems to be perhaps the best at producing good, clean rips in difficult situations (tricky hardware, CDs in poor condition, etc.) It may be a little slow, but if you're getting poor results with other programs, you might want to try it. You can download it from: OK, there are a couple of different issues here.

Start with the CD-DA FAQ [once at http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~psyche/cdda/, currently missing?] Take a look at http://come.to/cdspeed to see if your CD-ROM drive is up to the task. EAC, from http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/, is often recommended for extracting ("ripping") audio tracks. To copy from CD to CD, the source drive needs to support digital audio extraction, which is rare among older drives but universal in current models.

ANWSER: ISO games are full cd's which groups like Fairlight turned into a so called "image". Usually the format of an image is bin/cue. But there are more formats like .img, .iso, .nrg etc. So an ISO game is nothing more then a copied CD turned into an "image" which you can burn / extract. A "RIP" game is a collection of files which are neccecary for the game to play properly. Movies, Music and stuff like that is deleted.

ANWSER: You can either use WinZip or WinRar to extract the files. Double click on the zip file, click extract, choose a folder to extract the files to and click ok.

Approximately 50 ft wide, can be up to 90 ft wide and 3000 ft long. For more information on rip currents click here.

From Tucows (http://www.tucows.com/) This site directs you to a local mirror first, look under image editors. This site also supports resumable downloads, so if you get cut off in the middle of a multi-megabyte download, you can pick up where you left off. You can also search ftp sites using ftp-search at http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/ , searching for psp501ev.zip. You may want to look for *psp501.*, as some sites rename files. Older versions of PSP may be found using this also - look for psp414*.
