thanks alot Dvoters for those kind words
I get a little frustrated and I apologies.
Here's a mini guide for ripping the song from your album to an mp3 format...anyway you don't have to be the one to do it...but if you feel like it, I would be more than happy!
What you need:
Exact Audio Copy 0.9+
http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/eac6.html
Gamingforce Audio LAME Package
(This package includes the latest LAME Binaries with RazorLame 1.1.5)
http://www.curaga.com/lame.zip
Step 1 - Install EAC and Unzip the Lame Zip
This shouldn't be too hard to do. I recommend unzipping the Lame package to C:\Program Files\Lame.
Step 2 - Launch Exact Audio Copy and set options
When you launch EAC for the first time you should get a configuration wizard screen. If you don't get this screen, go to the EAC menu and select "Configration Wizard".
Step 3 - Configuration Wizard
Click on next to get started. It's going to ask you to select the CD / DVD drives used for extracting. Usually your CD-R drive is the best drive for ripping music. On the next screen, you should select "I prefer to have accurate results". On the next screen, select that you want to detect your CD drive's features. It's going to ask you to put a non-scratched Audio CD in your drive. Click next, and it'll test what features your drive supports. If you selected multiple drives, it's eventually going to show you your best drive. Click next after that. Now select the option where it says "Install and Configure the external LAME.EXE compressor." You already have it installed, so click next. It's going to start searching your drives for it. If you want to find it yourself manually, click cancel and find the path to wherever you extracted LAME.EXE to. Select either quality option for LAME (we will be changing this to something different later). Also, leave it so that EAC sets the ID3 tags. Enter your e-mail address on the next screen for CDDB access. (Don't worry, you'll get no e-mails from them.) After clicking next, select "I'm an expert". This allows you access to all of EAC's options, so you can fiddle around with them if you like & so you can enter all of the following...
Step 4 - EAC Options
Open the "EAC" menu and select "EAC Options". Under the Extraction tab, set the Error Recovery Quality to High. (If any sync or read errors occur during the rip, this masks those errors as well as it possibly can.) Also, if you want the ripping process to get more processor time than other programs you have running at the same time, put Extraction Priority to High. (Setting it to Realtime is NOT recommended in any circumstances.) If you have an always-on Internet connection, under the General tab, select "On unknown CDs, automatically...", and check "automatically access online freedb database."
Step 5 - Drive Options
Select "Drive Options" from the "EAC" menu. Since you already ran the Config Wizard, the drive should be set to Secure Mode with the appropriate settings checked. ONLY if your CD drive reported that it had C2 error detection in the Wizard, get a scratched-up Audio CD from your collection & perform the "Examine C2 Feature" test. If the test successfully detects an error, select "Drive is capable of retrieving C2 error info", otherwise leave it alone. Next go under the Drive tab and, with a good Audio CD in the drive, click "Autodetect read command now".
Step 6 - Compressor Options
Open the "EAC" menu & select "Compressor Options." Go under the External Compression tab. "Use external program for compression" should already be checked, and the path for LAME.EXE will be entered. (If they are not for some reason, do so.) Change the Parameter Passing Scheme from LAME to User Defined Encoder. In Additional Command Line Options, enter either --alt-preset standard %s %d or --alt-preset extreme %s %d . The "extreme" preset is really only advantageous for those with excellent hearing and hi-end audio equipment. "Standard" is outstanding quality for anyone else. (Note: Setting the Passing Scheme to User Defined is done so that EAC doesn't pass any additional parameters to LAME that could mess up the --alt-preset encoding. Also, make sure %s and %d are NOT left out, the encoder needs to know the source & destination files!) Next go to the Offset tab, and select "Write following text into ID3 Tag..." Enter LAME 3.91--alt-preset standard (or extreme if you used that method) so that it's evident what encoder & type of encoding was used to make your MP3s.
Step 7 - Ripping an Audio CD
You only have to configure the above options the FIRST time you use EAC. From then on, this is all you have to do to extract a CD... You may want to retrieve the ID3 information first from a CDDB server first, so press ALT-G on your keyboard, and make sure you're connected to the Internet. To rip ALL the songs on a CD, just click the MP3 button at the side. To rip certain tracks select the tracks with the CTRL key, right click on a selected track and press SHIFT-F6 on your keyboard.
