CD Archival and Re-Encoding – Using FLAC and LAME

PART – I:

Purpose:

The purpose of this guide is to provide general information on the following items.

Suggested software/codec’s for digitally archiving your CD’s for long term storage and without losing an ounce of quality. (I.E. Using the Open Source FLAC lossless encoder)

Encode from the Archived FLAC files for the most currently used/popular portable format currently being used; IMHO it’s still MP3’s.

Tools I Used:

Operating System: Windows 7

Secure Ripper/Encoder:
dBpoweramp 13.3:  http://www.dbpoweramp.com/

Codec’s:
Lossless = FLAC 1.2.1  and  Lossy = Lame 3.98.2 (included in the install)
