Just wondering how all you audiophiles out there get your tunes...

I get mine through Ripping cd's and other methods

If this is against the TOS ( i was unsure) just let me know.

Same for vinyl, but cut out the second step.

There's a nice, new turntable that will rip vinyls to digital rather sweetly according to what I've read.

Amazon.com: Audio Technica AT-LP2D LP-to-Digital Recording System: Musical Instruments

I'd prefer lossless DRM-free download to CDs, but since very few are on offer (Linn and Magnatunes), I stick to ripping CDs with Max.

For all you out there who rip cds....Where do you buy the cd's? Secondspin?.....and when you rip them to FLAC what program do you use?.

Most of the times I download it. If I consider it good, I get the album new or 2nd hand. Then rip it using EAC + Flac Frontend.

I get them from cduniverse.com and use either EAC or dbpoweramp

Buy CD -> Rip at Lossless

 

[progo]

Buying CDs and occasionally an LP or two. I like the physical mediums so I'm not sure if I ever can buy from a web store even if they were in CD-quality or better.

I seek the CDs from auction sites, used and preferably old presses, where the loudness war has not had large impact. It's too bad it's almost always some recrappened, er remastered stuff you get when buying new CDs.

And then I rip them using EAC: Exact Audio Copy.

Usually one of these ways:
* Buy CD -> Rip to Apple Lossless
* Download lossless music -> Transcode to Apple Lossless

1. Hear about new band/artist from friend or music community.
2. Seek out and "test drive" an album or two by said band/artist (last.fm is great for this purpose).
3. Buy CDs new or used off the Internet for a pittance.
4. Rip with EAC, encode to high-bitrate MP3.
5. Enjoy.
