Windows Media Player on Win 7 will do the rip for you (DRM permitting of course!). You can choose output to WAV or MP3.

Hi everyone, am trying to rip/save some tracks from a Rossini CD that we're going to sing in a few weeks time, so saw on Audacity help to use CDex to convert into WAV first. Unfortunately, despite also downloading special windows update to 'see' Win XP help files , CDex help won't open, ...

Hi everybody! Need your help, please. I would like to record Internet Radio via iTunes, but I do not get a signal in Audacity. 1. Running OS 10.7.3. with the latest Mac Mini (2,3 GHz Intel Core i5); installed Audacity and SoundFlower ...

Even if you get a nice download, chances are very good it's been compressed or processed for space or download efficiency. Not a good candidate for karaoke. Nobody misses that the show is in mono instead of stereo, (50% saving in filesize), but everybody notices when it takes twice as long to downlo...

Removing vocals or any other specific instrument from a song is a hard task to achieve. Most of the times is not possible.
