CD-Audio Music Conversion

Post by simonbelmont2 »

Sorry to ask this but somebody know a program that will convert the cd-audio music from games in mp3 loseless or ogm loseless?
I want to play my games with the same quality music from the cd-audio.
UPDATE: I have Nero 7. So I use Save Tracks to save WAV files.
The question is: what to put here?
- Frequency - 44100 (default)
- Bits - 16 (default)
- Channels - Stereo (default)
After this I will save the WAV files and use the FLAC command-line program.
This method is good to preserve the same quality?

I would imagine so. There are programs whose main task is just copying audio data from the CD to disc, e.g. Exact Audio Copy, but I don't know if that makes any difference unless the CD is scratched. And Nero might do something similar already, for all I know.

But the sample rate, size, and number of channels of the WAV files should be the same as the data on the CD, and FLAC is lossless so at least there shouldn't be any possible degradation there.

Because Nero didn't give best result I have used Exact Audio Copy. Good program and simple to use.
I have extract the audio track from my Loom cd and compress it to FLAC.
I have one problem: when the notes are played the sound is glitchy something like the game is blocked.

It's Windows only but CDex is also very handy for this. Point it to your CD drive first and it will give you a list of all the tracks. Data and audio.
