What Are Your DBpoweramp Settings?

The ripping continue, but have a question?
When I drop a CD into the internal drive it is recognized and starts ripping as soon as I hit the "RIP" button in the upper left. However, it defaults to my internal HD's 'Music' file and I would like to rip to the micro SD chip I have inserted. However, I cannot find any way to direct the CD being ripped to the SD chip. No big deal to 'drag-&-drop' the completed file, but would like to get rid of the additional couple of steps.

I always saved them to my desktop and then moved them. The reason being I have an internal SSD and it is fast. I can be moving the multiple albums to the NAS while I am ripping more CDs.

I do the same, rip to my Mac internal SSD first, then move them in batches later. It’s much faster, especially if I need to do some editing of metadata after ripping.

Very good. Creates a B/U copy at the same time.

All ready ripped 40+ CDs. Only 14-1500 to go.

Craig - are you as wet down there are we are up here? And Florence is still a few days out.

[crwilli]

No Glenn. We have had some showers but nothing that kept me off the golf course the last two days.

Florence has the SC Gov in emergency meetings already but, personally, I am watching the news and not panicked. We are headed to a race near Charlotte this weekend anyway. Timing might work out but we will likely be racing in the rain. The great equalizer.

Nothing but wet here for the next 10-days.

When ripping and one hits a track where DBpoweramp tries to re-rip and goes very slowly, do you simply skip that trip?

On about half of the tracks this happens on have found that stopping and re-ripping only the bad track(s) will result in a good download. This happens more frequently on the last track. Wonder if this is a result of a fault with my DVD drive or the production process of CDs?

Am pleasantly surprised that I've used so little of my SD chip. With about 60 CDs ripped only 16GB used. That's ~500 CDs on a 128GB micro SD chip, which is nice.

I have 4 blue-ray/dvd drives (internal and external) to rip CDs in parallel with dbpoweramp. My experience with bad tracks is:
- the super long self-correction process usually does not yield any satisfactory result, so I would simply cancel it;
- even if the self-correction process finishes, and the track shows green color (instead of accurate rip), it’s not accurate, so it will always bother me;
- to re-rip the bad track right away with the same drive can get accurate rip 10% of the time;
- most of the time, to re-rip it with another drive can get accurate rip;
- different drives from the same manufacturer usually have the same results, so I always use another manufacturer’s drive for this.

I have the same experience as SAPHANA. My PC has multiple drives so if I run into one disc that isn’t ripping, I cancel the whole thing and try it in another drive. That usually goes smoothly. I have no discs that wouldn’t rip eventually.

Excellent info. I'll have to break out the other drives. Thanks.

My Japanese pressing of "Brothers in Arms" won't run at all. Makes me wonder if it is HDCD, which is not indicated.

BTW - what does the red 'X' followed by AR indicate? Seems that rip went well enough. Haven't attempted to listen to same yet.
