Set the level of ripping quality

  • Select 'Tools' and then 'Options'
  • Then choose the 'Rip Tab' from the open window

    •  In Rip Settings select the format you wish to rip into.

    What formats are there??

    Windows Media Audio. This choice provides great audio quality with the added benefit of a smaller file size.

    Windows Media Audio (variable bit rate): This choice provides overall higher quality than Windows Media Audio format, but the size will vary according to the complexity of the audio.

    Windows Media Audio Lossless. Select this option if you want the audio quality to be as close as possible to the original. Size savings will be the least of the three formats, and will vary according to the complexity of the audio

    MP3 format. MP3 provides more flexibility of choice.
