I want to ask are there any software which can convert
CD to MPC file directly without first making it to wav by
myself then encode it?

Thanks.

Exact Audio Copy + mppenc.exe as external decoder

*'s a guide that might be useful.


MOD: * no links or names to ripping group guides please.

thanks tigre

Try * although using EAC a .wav file will still be created.

Well I don't think it's possible to pass PCM directly to an encoder, is it?

Gotta make .wavs first.

how about dbpoweramp?

dbpoweramp

Mhhh... doesn't Audio Grabber?

Plextools can encode to ape and mp3 with lame on the fly.

fb2k can do this for you
and it has a cool masstagger and replaygain applyer to boot

Good Info.

Thanks, in special for the * guide B)

Don't you have enough hard disc space left to go through wav ? In this case I understand.
But I recall that wav is nothing more than PCM with a header telling the OS that the file contains PCM audio.
