getting ready for my new iMac... buying it soon...
great to see that LAME is platform compatible...
Exact Audio Copy, however, is not.
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.
