    CD Tracks to Hard Drive

    GESYMSB Community Member

      Hello folks, is there a way to digitally extract tracks from audio CDs to your hard drive ?

       

      Save all the cd tracks on the hard drive as wave files or mp3 ?

       

      Thanks

          File>Extract Audio from CD will extract them either as individual files, or one complete track of the lot. If you extract as individual files, you can save them individually in whatever format you want. If that's all you want to do though, as an automated process, then ExactAudioCopy (free) will probably do a more efficient job of it.

            What SteveG said.  I tend to use the inbuilt Audition ripper (that's the import command) for occasional one-off tracks but move to EAC if I'm copying whole CDs.

             

            One other advantage of EAC is that it does a great job of copying disks with scratches and other errors--and, as it's free, the price is right too.
