I have cd that has enough scratches on it that it will lock up any computer it's inserted to within seconds. It's not copy protected...just damaged.
When played on a normal cd player...it plays and sounds just fine. Since I couldn't rip the disc to convert to mp3, I just did an analog line-out from a cd player to the line-in on my audigy2. Using the Musicmatch line-in record function, I recorded the disc to mp3.
It worked OK, and is better than nothing...but the copy is obviously inferior to a normal digital rip/convert. What would be the best way to match the quality on a normal digital extraction/rip? I'm of course assuming I would need to do all of this in real time.
What combination of digital or optical in/out devices would be recommended to make this perfect copy? Any suggestions or descriptions of past proven methods/equipment would be appreciated.
All I got now is:
- Set top Cd /dvd player with standard optical out
- Archos recorder with digital in (limited to 160 kbps VBR....not good)
- OEM Audigy 2 card
