我知道你在想什么。什么是音乐 CD?现在是 2019 年,我们都忙于购买数字音乐或在Spotify上播放。那么,这些 CD 业务是什么?1999 年呼吁——他们想要他们的技术回来。
抛开所有的玩笑不谈,今天人们仍在使用 CD。亚马逊(Amazon)仍然在出售它们,你显然仍然可以在 eBay 和跳蚤市场上买到二手的。见鬼(Hell),如果LP(LPs)不死,那么 CD 很快就会消失的可能性有多大?
尽管光盘确实会被划伤,但您仍然应该对这些 CD 进行备份,而且您还需要智能手机的数字副本。
如何使用 iTunes 在 90 秒内翻录音乐 CD(How To Rip a Music CD In Less Than 90
Seconds With iTunes)
iTunes 一直是翻录CD(CDs)的可靠首选工具。每个人都喜欢在 iTunes 上挥拳,但我总是发现它可以做我想做的事。这使它成为我书中的赢家。
我在家里很难找到一张音乐 CD,因为我购买数字唱片已经很长时间了。但我终于找到了我妻子的一张 CD -美女与野兽(Beast)-(Beauty)向您展示它是如何完成的。老实说,这不是我的。
您还需要在您的计算机上安装 CD 阅读器,这在当今的现代计算机中并不多见。如果您没有,请考虑从亚马逊(Amazon)购买一个插入USB端口的廉价便携式设备。
启动(Start)iTunes,然后将 CD 插入 CD 阅读器。一切顺利,iTunes会检测到它并在屏幕上显示给你。
现在,曲目编号为 1、2、3、4 等。当 iTunes 读取光盘的元数据并在其数据库中找到不止一张可能的 CD 时,就会发生这种情况。然后它会弹出一个框并要求您选择它是哪个光盘。
完成后,将自动插入每个曲目的名称。然后 iTunes 会询问您是否要将 CD 导入您的 iTunes 资料库。做出你的选择。
如果您不小心关闭了要求您选择它是哪张 CD 的框,您可以再次取回它。在 iTunes 窗口的右上角,您将看到一个设置徽标。单击该按钮将为您提供“获取曲目名称”,并将返回专辑选项。
如果您现在单击“CD 信息”,您将能够查看 iTunes 能够从 CD 光盘(如果有)中检索到的元数据。从高街零售商处购买的 CD 通常具有完美的元数据,您很少需要修复其中的任何一个。但是还是值得检查一下。
现在是时候单击“导入 CD”了。这会弹出这个框。
“纠错”可以不选中。这意味着你只需要决定你想要它的格式。我是一个老式的传统主义者,所以我总是选择MP3。
然后选择设置。永远追求最高,因为为什么不呢?
现在单击确定开始 CD 刻录过程。
当每首曲目成功刻录(或“导入”)后,您将在其旁边看到一个绿色刻度线。
完成的曲目将位于您计算机上的 iTunes Media
文件夹中。如果您不确定它在哪里,请转到您的 iTunes 偏好设置并单击“高级”。
在该位置,您会找到所有曲目,并按名称、曲目编号和其他专辑详细信息整齐排列。
为了向您展示 iTunes 的快速高效,整张专辑在不到 90 秒的时间内就被烧毁了(was burnt in less than 90
seconds)。没有比这更好的了。
How To Rip a Music CD Using iTunes
I know what you’re thinking. What is a music CD? Іt’s 2019 and we’re all busy buying digitаl musiс or streаming it on Spotify. So what’s all this CD business? 1999 called – they want their technology back.
All joking aside, people are still using CDs today. Amazon still sells them and you can obviously still get them second-hand on eBay and flea markets. Hell, if LPs refuse to die, what are the chances of CDs disappearing anytime soon?
You should still make a backup of those CDs though as discs do get scratched, plus you need that digital copy for your smartphone.
How To Rip a Music CD In Less Than 90
Seconds With iTunes
iTunes has always been the reliable go-to tool for ripping CDs. Everybody likes to swing punches at iTunes but I have always found it to do what I wanted it to do. That makes it a winner in my book.
I struggled to find a music CD in my house as I have been buying digital for a very long time now. But I finally found one of my wife’s CDs – Beauty and the Beast – to show you how it’s done. Honest, it’s not mine.
You will also need a CD reader on your computer, which not
many modern computers have these days. If yours doesn’t, consider buying a
cheap portable one from Amazon that plugs into your USB port.
Start iTunes and then insert the CD into your CD reader. All going well, iTunes will then detect it and show it to you on the screen.
Right now, the tracks are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. This will
happen when iTunes reads the disc’s metadata and finds more than one possible
CD out there in its database. It will then pop up a box and ask you to select
which disc it is.
When you have done so, the names of each track will be
automatically inserted. iTunes will then ask you if you want to import the CD
into your iTunes library. Make your choice.
If you accidentally close the box asking you to choose which CD it is, you can get it back again. In the top-right-hand side of the iTunes window, you will see a settings logo. Clicking on that will give you “Get Track Names” and will bring the album options back.
If you now click on “CD Info”, you will be able to review the
metadata that iTunes has been able to retrieve from the CD disc (if any). CD’s
bought from high street retailers will usually have perfect metadata and you
will rarely have to fix any of this. But it is worth checking it nevertheless.
Now it’s time to click “Import CD”. This pops up this box.
The “error correction” can be left unchecked. This means you
only have to decide which format you want it in. I am an old-fashioned traditionalist
so I always go for MP3.
And then choose the setting. Always go for the highest,
because why not?
Now click OK to begin the CD burning process.
As each track is successfully burnt (or “imported”), you will
see a green tick mark next to it.
The completed tracks will be located in your iTunes Media
folder on your computer. If you are not sure where that is, go to your iTunes
preferences and click on “Advanced”.
And in that location, you will find all of your tracks, neatly organized with names, track numbers, and other album details.
And to show you how blazingly-fast efficient iTunes is, the
entire album was burnt in less than 90
seconds. It doesn’t get any better than that.
