I ripped over 1000 CDs into iTunes, without a single hiccup, yet I have only managed to import 100 CDs into dBpoweramp and I'm looking at a pile of 19 CDs that it failed to import due to accuracy errors and the like.
For the record, all my CDs are brand new without even a fingerprint on them, I'm fastidious, so there will be zero errors on any of them. Even classical CDs from Deutsche Grammophonare not being accepted.
I took some of the CDs that dBpoweramp failed to rip and ripped them perfectly ok in iTunes so I have to assume that there is a setting or two in dBpoweramp that I'm missing. Thing is, iTunes is really intuitive and easy to use and set up, dBpoweramp on the other hand is hard to fathom and not self explanatory. But, I do have the ripping mode set to 'Blast' and even then, it is struggling with a lot of my 'brand new' CDs.
Does anybody have any screen grabs of the various Preference settings and other settings in dBpoweramp that are known to work for standard CD ripping to FLAC files as I'm pulling my hair out every time it spits a CD out after not importing it, or only importing a few tracks from it. With over a thousand CDs to import I don't want this stress every 6 or 7 discs.
I can't find any simple-to-follow instructions on how to set up dBpoweramp anywhere.
