One of my all-time favorite CDs, Paris' "The Devil Made Me Do It" had gotten a scratch on it about 4 years ago which made it pretty much unplayable. I downloaded some of the songs off Kazaa, but found that there really wasn't much Paris available. Oh well, I sucked it up and moved on.
Today I decided to see if I could CD-rip the songs off the disc and see which ones might be clear enough to listen to. Whoa. Not only did the cd-ripper CDnGO have no difficulty ripping all the tracks - but they sound PERFECT! Color me impressed.
I don't spend a lot of time talking about the foolishness going on with IP law, but is there -anything- better about having a CD in your hand, rather than having mp3 files? (and please don't tell me about other, higher compressed and better sounding formats... that is not my point and you know it.)
