You have a large CD collection and limited time

If you've got over 50 CDs and don't have anywhere from 2 - 15 minutes per disc (including loading the disc, adding album artwork, and fixing bad metadata) to rip your collection, we're perfect for you. Many of our clients are working professionals, and they don't have difficulty ripping one CD at a time - they'd just rather have the pros do it.


You're an audiophile with specific needs

We understand many audiophiles would want to undertake this process on their own - but if you don't, we're here for you. We support almost any format, and if we don't offer it online, give us a call (1.866.391.8447) and we'll see what we can do. Believe it or not, we LIKE talking to people. We'll even do things like structure your metadata in an external XML file so it's ready to be imported into most popular home automation and music servers.


You want to give someone an amazing, meaningful gift

Giving someone close to you the gift of music is something we encourage everyone to do. If you're unsure of what your friend or loved one might enjoy, why not help them bring the music they already love into a format that's versatile and easy to enjoy? Let us rip their CDs and load an iPod for them - they don't even need to have a computer.


You want professional and knowledgeable experts

Our mothers taught us never to boast. Our fathers taught us how to sell our business. We don't rely on free metadata databases with user-submitted, oftentimes incorrect data - we pay for our databases and hand groom tracks that are incorrect or missing data. With years in the industry, countless CDs converted, and the best hardware and software in the industry, we're the right choice for a collection of any size.



You're computer savvy

If you've got a handful of CDs and know your way around a computer pretty well, we're probably not for you. There are plenty of utilities out there to rip a CD collection for all operating systems, and we encourage you to try them out and find one you like. There are also lots of utilities to help you embed metadata for CDs that aren't in the free databases available to consumers, add and embed album artwork after you've searched Google for it, and organize your library into a meaningful folder hierarchy.


You have a small collection and lots of free time

On a brand new computer, you can rip a CD in about 3-4 minutes. Not terrible. You might then have to clean up the metadata that a free database provided, and then add album art, so say another 3-4 minutes. Now if you have a computer that's slightly older, it might be between 5-10 minutes per CD depending on your hardware. If you have just a few CDs, awesome! It's a great project for a Saturday afternoon. If you have a large collection, awesome! We'll see you when the next Duke Nukem game comes out.


You're a snarky blog columnist that hasn't ripped many thousand CDs into multiple formats. Perfectly.

We're not for everyone. If you're savvy and are either a) not concerned with a great looking and sounding collection or b) willing to put the time in to give it that professional shine, don't use us - we don't want your money. However, we do ask that you recognize that some people who don't want to bother with such a task are more than willing to pay for a professional to do it.



Want to see the reasons that didn't quite make the list?

When we wrote the content for this page, we had quite a few bloopers that came up in our brainstorming session - we'll blame the late hour of the night. If you're interested in seeing the bloopers, keep reading. If you're offended, you probably shouldn't use our service (we still love you, though).
