Which software takes raw file on disk to mp3??

Help Im desperate?

Rob

Not sure what you mean by RAW?

If you want to rip from an Audio CD to MP3, one of several freeware audio rippers will do it - If you want to encode an existing WAV file as MP3, there's a good many choices for that also.

Learn to Search!
www.dogpile.com (now that's just TOO easy!)
Or Newsgroups at:

To be going on with, I'll cut/paste a recent rant of mine - freeware rippers versus Audiograbber

There's PLENTY of good freeware, 2 of which have SECURE extraction -
Audiograbber's one excellence is the noise reduction plugin.
(and THAT comes from elsewhere too)

www.exactaudiocopy.de
EAC - The BENCHMARK in secure ripping, which also allows you to
quickly sample any uncorrevted errors, and maybe de-glitch them as
well!
Supports CD WRITING on many writers - YMMV!
(Postcardware, + donations welcome)

www.cdex.n3.net
CDEX - Secure ripping by CD-Paranoia in the 1.40x betas
Nicer look than EAC, also reasonable interface for converting WAV-MP3
and Riff/WAV MP3 coded
(open-source)

http://www.zlurp.com/
ZLURP Ripper - take a look at the sreenshots - THIS is a strong
challenger indeed, though it lacks the secure ripping technology of
the other two.
(Donations requested, but not required)

There is also DBPowerAMP - but the interface is an acquired taste!
http://admin.dbpoweramp.com/
Free, shareware extension pack avaible but not required for basic
function

CD'n'Go

A competent litlle bundle


WHY ever pay for CD ripping software - and I DON'T mean WAREZ.
Want the best RIP at any cost (easy... EAC)
Drive doesn't like EAC? (try CDEX - Paranoia mode)
Want it FAST - if your drive is good enough then take off the
resync/correction modes.

i only ever seen 1 .raw audio file before . It was in Echelon;s Dreamcast self boot tutorial but I assume it is actually a genuine audio file format . One way to do it would be to use cdrwin and burn the raw files to a cd then from that cd you can extract them as wavs or mp3s .

(in reply to Robert)

I think CDRWin can burn RAW images

Ive had a bash with Exact audio copy, seems to work fine. Apart from one of my disks which is a full 70 mix, only reads as 45 minutes. Weird. These things are here to try us.

If i get chance Ill try some of the other freeware. Thanks to all
