My apologies if this has been asked before, but my forum search came up nil. Maybe I'm not using the right words.
Anyway, WMP can rip audio, and it had a "lossless .wma" option. Out of curiosity, I tried it once. This turned a nine minute song into a 42.7 MB file. Not unexpected. However, upon playing the file in WMP, I heard occasional glitches. What I want to know is whether this is a result of the ripping process or the CD's protection. If it helps, I was using Matchbox Twenty's "Mad Season" album.
If there's some solution to this, please share it. If not, I'm perfectly content to continue using the guides.

It could be the length of the song, IMO, WMP isn't very good with ripping or burning. I would suggest downloading the stable version of CDex and ripping your song directly into .WAV format. Might end up being a little bit larger than the lossless .WMA though.

yup, what ganstaj8 said... I normally use cdex for all my cd ripping to WAV files with no problems (except when I forget to rip to WAV and accidently rip to MP3gangstaj8 wrote:It could be the length of the song, IMO, WMP isn't very good with ripping or burning.
