Melvin Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Your most welcome Richard. BTW .. completely missed this thread about dBpoweramp started last fall: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f11-software/dbpoweramp-mac-21835/ Link to comment

Daryl ITunes is fine but on a MAC, programs like XLD give you a bit more confidence by using "SecureRip" and giving detailed reports. If the CD is pristine and there is no chance of errors, then there is arguably little difference...... Link to comment

As I do not like to complicate my life, I always go for the iTunes way, however I will try dBpoweramp. Roch Link to comment
skolis Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 ....programs like XLD give you a bit more confidence by using "SecureRip" and giving detailed reports. +1 Have used XLD to rip several thousand CDs. NP. Tried the "new and improved" dppoweramp for Mac over the last several days. This is the second or third time/try over the last 6 months ( always checking out the latest) My net reaction: what a mess. Went back to XLD. I'm sure others will have a different/better reaction. But that was mine. Link to comment

But that was mine. What did you not like about dBpoweramp? I used to use XLD, but really appreciate the flexibility, etc., behind dBpowramp and have switched to it exclusively. I particularly like the "smart" metadata features, the ability to rip to multiple formats at once (I haven't actually started doing this yet, but tested it, and it's slick), etc. Again, XLD is great (and how can you beat free?), but would be very interested on your thoughts about dBpoweramp, especially the "what a mess" comment LOL John Walker - IT Executive Headphone - SonicTransporter i9 running Roon Server > Netgear Orbi > Blue Jeans Cable Ethernet > mRendu Roon endpoint > Topping D90 > Topping A90d > Dan Clark Expanse / HiFiMan H6SE v2 / HiFiman Arya Stealth Home Theater / Music -SonicTransporter i9 running Roon Server > Netgear Orbi > Blue Jeans Cable HDMI > Denon X3700h > Anthem Amp for front channels > Revel F208-based 5.2.4 Atmos speaker system Link to comment

I used to use XLD, ... would be very interested on your thoughts about dBpoweramp, admittedly my reaction is colored by being an early "trier" of the OSX beta 6 or 8 months ago..... So I was looking to see if some things had gotten "fixed": here were two problem areas: accessing accuraterip DB; stability of profiles. Link to comment
Melvin Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Just wanted to follow up after using the program for a bit. Like John, I really like the power and flexibility. I find the UI more intuitive than XLD as well. Highly recommended. Link to comment
