Introduction

Each day while you work on your computer, you probably listen to music on an internet radio.

If you use file sharing programs, you may notice that, when downloading a song, there are usually different versions of the same song and, even if the file size is the same, they sound different. The quality varies, some even have annoying clicking and popping sounds at the end, because some people don't know how to properly extract the music from their audio CD's.

You should never settle for low quality, it only takes a few minutes from your time to learn how to do thing properly.

In this tutorial, I will try to show you how the professionals are obtaining the best quality audio files from audio CDs, the best way to rip and encode an audio CD.

I'll cover ripping of audio files from the audio CD and encoding them to lossless formats (in order to keep a perfect copy of the disc) or to a MP3 file (for the people that wish to obtain almost the best quality in less storage space).
