The burning and ripping of mp3's is probably the worst I've encountered. Cd's burned are at different volume levels. Cd's ripped often have audio "burps" or "hiccups" near the end of the mp3s.

CdEx is far better for ripping mp3s. :)

[Astalavista]

i never had any problems on my system.

but to be honest i like musicmatch better when it comes to ripping also blaze is also another good ripping software.

but why do u need to rip anyways does anyone really still buy audio cds?

[Dynaletik]

I hope Alanoll will do an msi for this version as well....

[battleangel3222]

Oh, Also, apparently you have been mis informed because Nullsoft has explained numerous times that they are not dead, and Winamp will continue to be updated.

[Astalavista]

That is not what i read. sorry

[battleangel3222]

Then perhaps you should learn to read Reading is Fun!

I still buy cds all the time. And I rip my own because I'm picky on what quality audio I want (192kbps).

sad news for me (i mean the final version)... long live to!:

u guys should checkout musicmatch it is the best ripping software

@Astalavista
I agree. MusicMatch was my fave for ripping CDs and converting from audio-tapes to MP3. (not now, since I started liking winamp 5.x better)

Winamp Pro 5.0.6 is Out! last one

Whatcha mean? They been saying that since a lot of time now, but it still hasn't died and I hope never dies. To be realistic, the root of the current problems at AOL-winamp is the exit of one of the lead devs.


Lastly, is there any reason this topic was posted in "Unattended --> Application Switches" ? :confused:
Coz nothing related to such a classification seems to be here! Anyways, unattending v5.06 is still gonna be the same method as older ones:

Either:
1.  Alanoll makes you a new MSI.
---OR---
2.  You use "/S" switch + taskkill winamp.exe method.

[Astalavista]

sorry... i forgot to put the switch...

REG ADD %Key%\150 /VE /D "Winamp 5.0.6" /f
REG ADD %Key%\150 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\winamp\winamp506_pro.exe /S" /f
REG ADD %Key%\150 /V 2 /D "pskill.exe winamp.exe" /f
REG ADD %key%\150 /V 3 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Winamp\Winampini.exe" /f
REG ADD %key%\150 /V 4 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Winamp\Winampini2.exe" /f

winampini.exe is from winamp's folder
winampini.exe is from windows.

I agree with Musicmatch. It's ripping feature is really fast.

I registered MMJB a long time ago [version 1 or 2] and I used to use it for ripping or converting mp3->wav or vice versa. For converting it's still alright but it's too bulky in general. For ripping I stopped using MMJB altogether. Back in the day it was decent but, for me, over time it seemed the quality dropped. Regardless of what I did my rips were just not as good as they should be or used to be with way older releases of MMJB.

I use EAC to rip my CDs these days and I use LAME 3.96.1 codec along with BlueRazorLame 1.2.0.1342 to convert the WAVs to MP3. You could always do a 1 step process with EAC but I prefer to do the 2 steps.

To burn my CDs I either use Nero [99%] or I burn them through foobar2000 [1% of the time when I am super super lazy and already listening to the music with fb2k].

And... to keep this on topic... I would never ever use Winamp to rip or burn a CD. But... that's just my opinion. Oh... and I don't know anything to add for application switches which is where this topic is located.

Glad to see v5.06 is out. No, I don't think Winamp is dead. AOL still needs Winamp. They just might not push for advancement so much. Now that Yahoo! acquired MMJB [not new news] it's somewhat of a quiet war, IMO.

To each their own.

Since version 7, Musicmatch's ripping feature has greatly improved. I haven't tried Winamp for like 3 years now, but I think it has improved too so maybe I will give it a shot.

But now, I only use Windows Media Player for everything, since I got a media center pc. But I still Musicmatch for ripping.

Question: Why do we need an msi for this if we can install it with /S switch? What is the advantage?

Edit: Not only 3 years. Make that 5.

@totoymola
winamp msi by alanoll enables people to install the components they want and also register winamp pro if they have a key.

[Wedge1]

EAC for ripping with LAME encoding to mp3

burnatonce for burning.

[Alanoll]

Like I just answered someone's PM, I will get to making a new MSI. But i don't promise to even start till next week.

I lost the old file structures, so I'm gonna be either basing the MSI off of the old installer (sometimes a bad idea) or starting from scratch YET AGAIN (better in the long run assuming I back it up more often then I did the last one)


But yeah, Thanksgiving....maybe
