getting ready for my new iMac... buying it soon...

great to see that LAME is platform compatible...

Exact Audio Copy, however, is not. :cry:

What is the best CD rip program for a Mac? Error correction, works with damaged CDs, etc.... free is good...

i'm not talking about compression -- i'm talking about ripping the actual audio from the CD. i already know how i want to do compression.

An iMac heh? I'm jealous. Unfortunately I think that the best is LAME then followed by iTunes. So until EAC comes out for the Mac I think that is what you have.

I know this is off the topic of ripping and more about encoding, but since it was mentioned, LAME can be used with iTunes on the Mac:

iTunes-LAME Encoder 2.0.7

The best rip on a Mac? I dunno... there are just to many good ones to choose from.

I asked my Mac-loving and tech-saavy friend this question, and his answer was: iTunes. Look under Edit->Preferences: Check the "Use error correction when reading audio CDs" box.

Have any of you tried using this? Does it work well? How does it compare to EAC?

i meant to say iBook... and i'm probably not getting it for a while. i did make an interesting discovery regarding Windows ripping, but that's for another thread.. thanks for the tips

After Ripping use MegaSeg for DJing.

I swear by this program. It does everything you would ever need. Sorry windows it's only for Mac. Pricey but worth ever dollar. I have tried every other available MAC dj program and this is the very best by a long shot.

Yakov, I was talking about ripping as well as compressing. The answer is iTunes. It does a very very good job.
