Rip As One

Re: Rip As One

Peripherally related to the original thread, what about efforts to rip HDCD files as one? I have a few, and might need this ability.

Since HDCD is a DSP, I assume ripping as one file would come out as the default 16 bit audio, as opposed to 24 bit (as is necessary to have the benefit of HDCD's 20 bit dynamic range). And, accordingly, setting the system to convert to 24 bit audio won't result in capturing those crucial extra 4 bits of dynamics. I have concerns for this as, even with 44.1 kHz sampling rate, I can still hear a difference with HDCD audio over 16 bit.

The mac version does not currently have Rip as One.

That will be why then - It's a shame as that mean i have to rip on the windows machine, upload to dropbox and download again on the mac. (I'm no good with network sharing... I tried)

Re: Rip As One

I really can't along with these issues I'm having with Mac and dbpoweramp. I understand from my own thread that for random reason, the CD Text reader can't pick up the text from CD's (although someone has made a fix for iTunes to do it if iTunes doesn't find the CD's and it works fine)

This rip as one is different too.... Mac Pro, no button on full screen. On Windows, there it is!!!! The Mac is running 15.2 and windows is running the older version of 14.4

Re: Rip As One

Ok. Thank you. Good reason to by one. But one question: do i then also have the tracklisting and track selection when i rip as one?

Do you mean after you rip as one, and have a single track (containing more than one song on CD), you can still see the track names of the individual CD songs and choose any of these separately? If so, the answer is NO. If you rip as one, you have ONE giant track (all songs combined).

edit: remind me why you want to rip as one? What are you trying to achieve. One doesn't need this for gapless playback CDs, etc.

Re: Rip As One

Rip as one has its own selection screen where start and stop times are specified.

Re: Rip As One

It requires the Reference version, that is why the button is faded out so cannot be selected.

Re: Rip As One

It is on the title bar in cd ripper, see the help file for cd ripper, if the button is not present then it suggests that the screen resolution is too low.

yes under the help button is a fade out "rip as" text. between "compilation" check box field which i also cannot check and "composer". my screen resolution is 1920 x 1200.
searching the help for "rip as one" did not help. because there is no search result for this. neither in the help for the cd ripper nor in the help for the wave codec.
do i have a free version that not supports this?

Re: Rip As One

Set the encoder to wave in CD ripper and test rip as one. What is the length of the track produced?

Re: Rip As One

Seems to be my second dBPowerAMP 15.3 issue. I'm not getting QAAC to work at all, and Rip as 1 (One) is not working either. Rolling back to 15.1 using the exact same settings and both are working.

Re: Rip As One

Be sure you not have an DSP effects running (either in CD Ripper, or on multi encoder page).

Re: Rip As One

Reviving this thread.. I'm having the exact same issues when I'm trying to rip audiobooks. I'm using Rip as 1 and all I get is a 5:45 out of 1:12:25 for some reason? Was using multi-encoder and it was the same result with every one.
