BDBopper, I loved your photos. Let me get in line to say Welcome to the Midwest!

WOO!

How did you go about doing that? Software or just re-rip everything?

Ghoulish Delight · 09-28-2009, 10:24 AM

For the DRM-protected files, software. TuneClone. It creates a fake CD burner on your system, you tell iTunes to burn a disc, the software then converts it to MP3. Essentially the same as burning and re-ripping, but we had a good amount of iTunes-purchased music piled up and this was a much faster solution.

For non-DRM protected AAC files (anything recently purchased, or the large collection of music that we had ripped from CD before realizing that you can set iTunes to rip to MP3 instead of AAC), iTunes has a "create MP3 version" option built in.

Were you able to use the free version to complete the job? is it limited by time or by production quantity? (their site doesn't seem to tell)

Awesome. I'll have to check out TuneClone.

I need to pick up a new desktop to function as a file server (or maybe pick up one of those home server boxes). The majority of my music is on an external drive but I want to re-rip the music I still have the CDs of into a higher quality.

My life is so much easier in this respect. Come over to my world.

Ghoulish Delight · 09-28-2009, 05:45 PM

The free version cuts songs of off at 3 minutes, so it's not a viable option. Due to the amount of purchased music we have accumulated, the cost was worth it to me. If you've only got a handful of purchased albums, physically burning and re-importing the music might be a better option.

Please do, I did find much of the Sacajawea book interesting.

Though I must admit almost as much for the Hebard (am I remembering the right name?) tear-down as for the Sacajawea stuff; but then I'm a sucker for pseudoscience and pseudohistory stuff.

Thanks, Alex. It's always good to get feedback. At one point, we even drove slowwwwwly past the house where Hebard had lived, that's how obsessed one of us (not me) became with her. My favorite part of the project was how braindead the D.A.R. can be.

Started the day with new music from one of my favorite bands and news of the birth of a good friend's baby. Hooray for today.
