Now Kiwis can get their entire CD library ripped into an array of digital music formats effortlessly and affordably thanks to TheRipFactory, New Zealand’s first legitimate CD Ripping service.
Until now, converting your entire CD collection into digital music was a time consuming, complex and frustrating process generating inconsistent results.
On a fast PC or Mac, it typically takes between 8-10 minutes just to convert a CD into digital music. Multiply that amount of time by your entire CD collection and then add the countless hours spent adding consistent track metadata (e.g. artist, genre and album art etc.) and the whole DIY CD conversion quickly becomes a real chore.
With The RipFactory however, converting your entire CD collection into digital music is a quick and pain-free experience where consistent quality is a matter of course.
Why TheRipFactory?
Time: Ripping CD’s is a time consuming process with an average collection taking weeks to rip into digital music. Using The RipFactory getting your entire CD collection can be ripped in a matter of days.
Quality: No two CD’s are ever recorded at the same audio level and keeping track, genre and artist information consistent in a DIY digital music collection can become increasingly difficult over time. By using commercial music databases, TheRipFactory is able to apply consistent track information to all music and consistently high quality digital audio.
Formats: TheRipFactory supports high quality 320Kbps Mp3, lossless WMA, FLAC audio, 192Kbps AAC, .Wav. Better still, you can choose up to two formats to rip your CDs into for high quality lossless digital for your home audio system and the more compact Mp3 or AAC format for listening on the move.
Is Legal: All ripped music is licensed on a per CD basis to the CD’s owner with TheRipFactory paying a licensing fee to PPNZ (Phonographic Performance New Zealand). All ripped files are also Watermarked to protect you, the artist, the record label and the encoder from illegal sharing.
Watermarking provides traceability for each audio file generated by TheRipFactory by allowing full ‘track and trace’ facilities of each file if it is shared on illegal music sharing services.
