Songs skip when ripped in Windows Media Player?

Question

I have two CDs that I would like to rip to my computer and mp3 player. Whenever I try to copy them, the songs come out crackled and skip a lot. I've tried adjusting the bit rate and format, and these are brand-new CDs that I've bought so I know that it's not because they're damaged. I've also noticed that they're both EPs. Is there any way to fix this, without having to download or install a new program? Or could it be protected, and would another program be required to rip the CDs?

I was searching for the same thing, and here is the answer I found:



"Exact Audio Copy is good. A little slower than most, but it makes error-free rips.

Download Exact Audio Copier, then download LAME and use LAME as your MP3 encoder. This is easy and EAC will even search your hard drive for LAME after youve installed it.



This is regarded by many circles as the most correct and standard way of copying your music to Mp3 format, or just about any other format you have in Codec form on your computer (Like Wave files, etcetera).



Look on Google for both programs. EAC will also burn Cds.

Note: LAME is a codec, that is, something that makes one thing another. What I mean exactly is turning CD-Audio into MP3 Audio. LAME is open licensed software, legal, and the most well made encoder for Mp3, ever. Do yourself and anyone who copies from you a favor: 192k at least.

I think the question's been asked three times so far. Unfortunately, Google's index of Ask is both incomplete and difficult to use because of the lack of page titles.



The answer in every one of those threads was CDex, although there are people who prefer EAC. Both offer roughly the same functionality, including "paranoia" mode ripping, but if I remember correctly, EAC doesn't have the handy built-in hooks to LAME and Vorbis (or rather, comes with LAME and Vorbis encoders built in) like CDex does.



In general, I'd consider CDex the better choice for most uses, such as "please rip, tag, and encode this with one click."



I've seen some weirdness with it using SCSI drives in the past, like my trusty UltraPlex 40, but versions in the last year or so seem to work just fine.

I haven't tried either CDex or EAC, but I think I'm going to go with CDex first.

I use Protected Music Converter to convert iTunes protected music to MP3 format. Then you can use the output MP3 files freely to phone or other PCs. You can download it at http://www.protectedmusicconverter.net. There is a user guide to help you in steps at http://www.protectedmusicconverter.net/convert-protected-music-to-mp3.htm.

It has no longer something to do with your RAM. It has each thing to do with your track records. attempt verifying the skipped songs and notice in the event that they are broken. if so delete them in the previous they corrupt greater records, and re-obtain them. If this would not artwork attempt reinstalling WMP11...
