Creating WAV files from CD Tracks

 

CDH Media Wizard can "rip" CD audio tracks directly to WAV format. From the main window, press F8 (or click the Conversions menu and select Convert CD to WAV) to invoke the conversion panel, a screen-capture of which is shown below. (Note that data tracks are shown with a floppy disk icon, and audio tracks are shown with a musical notes icon.)

 

 

To create a WAV from a CD track:

• Ensure an audio CD is inserted in your CD-ROM drive.

• Select the track(s) you wish to convert from the track list.

• Click the CD-to-WAV button or press F2.

 

Some notes of merit:

• Select "Configure" from the File menu to set important settings for the conversion process for maximum control. Settings include drive specifications, copy mode, and block count.

• Set the audio format for complete control over file size / quality by choosing "Select Wave Format" from the File menu. MP3s can also be encoded directly, and options for MP3 encoding may be selected.

• Use play features directly from the conversion feature for maximum efficiency. (Play, Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop, and Eject)
