Have some commercial cd’s want to make copies of and also want to copy tracks to hdd for storage.
Would appreciate help and advice to the following.
-
What is the best media (CD) for backing up and best compatibility, and are CD audio’s required?(I just got 300 taiyo yuden’s from Rima…will these be fine?)
-
I have a toshiba dvd/cd ROM and a pioneer A09 dvd/cd burner. What is the best ROM drive to read from and the best burner or does it matter? Am I ok with what I have?
Now for the ripping of the singles to hdd.
-
Same hardware question, is the A09 fine for this?
-
I understand that mp3 is compressed and wav is not compressed, that wav is lossless or almost lossless. I don’t care about size of file, when I copy the singles to the hard drive I want the best copy of each single with NO loss of quality or anything. Is wav the way to go for that or is there a better one?
-
Is wav ok now for HiFi? if not what?
-
Copying the singles like this to hdd is there any loss in things such as channels, dolby or any of that stuff?
I just want to make the best copies and singles I can as I am going to sell my collection of originals, and want dependable backups.
-
Is there any way other than listening to the cd all the way thru to determine if it is a perfect copy or not?
-
Same thing in 5, for the singles copied to the hdd, any way to make sure they are perfect copies?
BTW I am using SOnic Recordnow deluxe to do the burning and ripping. Is this ok software or is there a better one?
thanks for all the help.,…t
