Anyone here know how to rip hidden pregap tracks? On a Mac.
Hmmm, apparently XLD can do it. I just ripped a track containing a track in the pregap and it took about 20mins! I then had a track twice as long as the original track, a clue to the hidden song, but alas the extra time is silent.
I'm stumped!
Hmmm (again), it appears that not all drives are capable of extracting this data. Those that aren't produce a silent track. So it looks like they're out of my reach. I'm not getting a new drive just to get at these odd tracks.Quote:

If you rip a CD to a single file you have no options to skip to the tracks or document their titles.
If you use a CUE sheet the media player can use the CUE sheet to display the tracks.
If you rip to WAV due to the haphazard tagging support of WAV, a CUE sheet is a nice workaround.
If you rip to a file per track you don’t need a cue sheet.

That's what I do. CheersQuote:

Maybe it would help for some vinyl copies. Is it any good? VFM?
PS: not sure of best place to post - after the comment that copying from vinyl isn't really "ripping".
If it was a ripping device would there be a need for a gain control?Quote:

Barring that, it looks to be a reasonably specced bit of kit, with one major omission - there's nothing on the box to indicate signal overload.
Visual indications from digital recording programs are not the last word in accuracy.
How much of a problem would it be for someone competent in such matters to mod it to give an indication of signal level? - just askin' :) .Quote:
