I think that I made a mistake with my initial order

[David Marshall]

I decided this was the software I wanted to use to rip my CD collection into FLAC files. In the past I was using JRiver and I never encountered any problem. I am using Plextor DVD/CD and I have about 800 CD's that are all in mint condition or brand new. I did some research and the information regarding this software was the most convincing and compelling, that I bought the complete package, After my purchase was completed, I was prompted to add an additional purchase for the "Tunes" component, which is critical to the original set up. I immediately requested a cancellation and a refund, I then reordered and the :tunes: component was checked and the order went through for $156. I could use some advice or basic help. All I want to do is rip all of my CD's and have them ripped to perfect FLAC files, with all the appropriate Meta Data. Did I "over order:? I have no plans to put the files into server set ups. I simply want to be able to set up play lists, retrieve the original CD's. I want to put the collection of songs onto a NVME 2-4 TB SSD inside an adapter and give a copy to each of my 4 daughters, for we were missionaries in Taiwan and my music was my girls! For on Taiwan radio there was Casey Casem every Sunday night and that was the family music listening night together. Could someone let me know if I am purchasing the right combination of this software, or did I buy more than I needed. Thank you

I never installed the software, but thank you so much for the refunds. I apologize for creating work for someone. I still want to use the "Best" CD Ripper Software, but I do not know which is the correct purchase. The link just takes me back to my original questions.

Do I need to purchase CD Ripper + Perfect Tunes + Fusion?

Everyone who burns CDs will eventually put their music (All or playlists) on a USB drive or a USB Adapter that supports a SSD.

In my case, I will rip 800 Family CDs onto one PC. After I have the "Library" Of Lossless FLAC files completed, I will make copies for my 4 daughters by placing an M.2 drive in a USB adapter and plug it into my PC USB port.

Which leads me to ask the question regarding FUSION. Does the CD Ripper Software allow for this process and no additional software (Fusion) will be needed.

Assuming I do the ripping job properly, is it safe to assume I won't need Perfect Tunes to fix things?

My questions seem legitimate, but the answer (one link) makes me feel that I don't need additional purchases besides the CD Ripper. That is just my assumption, but I do not want to get this wrong again.

Please tell me what should be in my cart when I purchase dB software for ripping CD's? I have asked for help multiple times, but I am not getting answers directed to my specific questions.

Am I the only customer that has ever been confused by the additional software, Fusion and Perfect Tunes? I am starting to feel like I am in the old TV program, called Night Gallery.

Thank you.

dBpoweramp Music Converter - for ripping CDs and converting existing files.
PerfectTUNES for correcting tags of already ripped files, managing the library (finding duplicates), missing art work, etc
TuneFUSION - it is there to automate the synchronization of a music library (normally in lossless), to another format, such as mp3 for a car on a usb stick.
