veronica 2 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 OK here's what I want to do. Get an official CD album (one that I bought in the shop) and somehow make a copy of it, but with the tracks in a different order and with a few replaced. I know I can do that in itunes, but I'm almost certain the sound quality is compromised. I want a full quality same-as-cd sound. This may well be a question, but can someone in the know perhaps tell me how I might do that? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
keba 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Change the iTunes import settings to "Apple lossless", (or something like that) rather than the default 128kb/s bit rate, and you should have no loss of quality. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 if you put a cd in the drive and browse it using explorer, you can see each track is a .cda. You can copy those to a seperate directory and then burn them to CD. Link to post Share on other sites

All you get is an icon,, but not the song You need a program called audiograbber (free to download with serial # if you know how *cough* bittorrent *cough* Grabs the whole song straight form the CD in its original format Then you can copy them to a new CD using windows media player or whatever you like The problem with this is that the songs will not be labelled with names,, you will have to do this yourself before burning to a new CD DO not change the file extension when renaming the tracks I use audiograbber alot,, and its very easy and efficient to use Link to post Share on other sites

Or try using the .flac format but this results in a huge output. And also not playable on a lot of mp3 players. Link to post Share on other sites
keba 0 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 You will need extra software to decode .flac format, too. Link to post Share on other sites
