That’s an interesting product in its own right, but it’s bloated and paid for, so doesn’t fit my purposes
Conceptually what I’m after seems straightforward … this issue being that nobody uses CDs, so solutions may be thin on the ground … just an extractor to preferably audition but mainly to specify small chunks of audio CDs to extract the data
So free, ideally lean and clean to make it a pleasure to use
Sure I can get big full tracks of lossless audio out of itunes, but then my soul gets a beating from dealing with all sorts of other crap and iTunes just went berserk this week with the 12.6.1 update crashing at every launch … cost me hours and hours and nearly all my metadata … luckily some internet genius found a way to trick it open in the meantime … so I don’t want to be messing with iTunes as it’ll try to put stuff in its fragile database
XLD is no good either as it presents no preview / track info / selection range … though it is free and lean and hand for other tasks
I may have to dig out the old powermac
