Hi Gary,
this is a shortened link to the installer for cdex 1.70 beta 4, which is the
latest version:
http://goo.gl/lOlA8
These are a few notes on using this version of CDex.
Once you've adjusted one or two settings, as described below, then to rip a cd
to a compressed file format, like mp3.
1. Put a cd in the drive.
2. In the list view in CDex, select the tracks you want to rip.
3. On the Convert menu, choose Extract CD track(s) to a Compressed Audio file
(F9).
Settings.
To open the CDex configuration dialog, on the Options menu choose settings (F4).
The dialog contains a page tree, and the controls for the page which is
selected in the page tree. After you've selected the page you want in the page
tree, you can then tab to the controls for the settings for that page.
These are the pages which contains some of the important settings:
1. The directories and files page, which is in the general group in the tree.
There's an Ouput filename format and directories Recorded Tracks read-only edit
box. This contains the root folder where your ripped tracks will be saved. If
you need to change this, press Enter, and a Browse for folder dialog opens,
allowing you to choose a different folder.
2. The Encoders page, which is in the Encoding group in the tree. There's an
Encoder combo box, and if you want to rip to MP3, this should be set to use the
LAME MP3 Encoder. Unfortunately, Jaws reads this as another Thread priority
combo box. There is a real thread priority combo box which by default is set to
normal, and the following control is the Encoder combo box, which Jaws misreads
as another thread priority combo box.
3. The remote freedb page, which is in the CD Database group in the tree.
There's a your E-mail address edit box, which must contain an email address.
Following this, there are three check boxes. The use proxy and Authentication
check boxes should not be checked, but it's convenient to check the Auto
connect to remote freedb check box. When this last check box is checked, then
CDex automatically gets the cd info when you put a CD in the drive.
Note of warning.
If you uninstall CDex, then it seems to also remove the shortcuts to some other
programs from the start menu.
best wishes,
David.
original message:
Hi all,
I'm looking for an easy to use CD ripper for my wife to use under Windows 7
(Win 7/IE 9/Jaws 13). Previously she used CDEX under XP which was pretty easy
to use.
I had a look at the Windows 7 version of CDEX, but it seems to use an IE
toolbar and doesnt seem very easy to use as a result.
Has anyone any suggestions as to an alternative, or is there even an
alternative interface to CDDEX I haven't seen?It needs to have the ability to
go out to the Internet to look up CD/track titles.
Thanks Gary
