Fast & Powerful

Was looking to rip a bunch of my CDs for iPod. I also wanted to rip lossless and then convert to .MP3 at a high quality. I figured Id make a back-up of my CD library at the same time. After having a boring time with XLD (just too slow loading the CDs). I came across Phile Audio in the app store. Really making my life easy right now as I can rip straight to .FLAC and .MP3 at the same time.

Nice feautre is the ripping and encoding are seperate processes - so you can feed CDs as fast as you can (with mulitple players as I understand it).

My two cents is that when ripping Compilation CDs - you have to change the preferences under the file naming convention. So heres my strings to make your life easier :)

For Regular CDs (Default that it ships with)
/ indicate folder structure:

%X/%A/%B/%Z - %T.%X = Format/Artist/Album/ #-Name.EXT

Good for Compilations

%X/%B/%Z - %T.%X = Format / Album / #-Name.EXT

or better for compilations !

%X/%B/%Z - %T - %A .%X = Format / Album / # - Track - Artist.EXT

has without a date saved $8 dollars worth of my time !!
