Posted by: mikes-macs on 2023-03-02 07:43:07 I ripped a Led Zeppelin CD recently using my Mac SE/30. I used Sound App. Very nice program for its time. I forgot to change the settings from 44.100 kHz to 20.050 kHz. The resulting file (1 song) was 87 MBs. The Mac Se/30 played it but only output at the lower sample rate.
Posted by: MrFahrenheit on 2023-03-02 07:51:21 For audio CD extraction, I can’t recommend enough Astarte CD-Copy. Download the appropriate version to match your Mac OS version and the drive you’re using. It was the definitive program to use back in the day, and shipped with my Yamaha CDR back in the early 90s.
Posted by: mikes-macs on 2023-03-02 07:55:07 Thanks! I have 3 of those Yamaha CDR Drives. I’ll give Astarte a try.
Posted by: MrFahrenheit on 2023-03-02 07:57:53 Thanks! I have 3 of those Yamaha CDR Drives. I’ll give Astarte a try. It can be used with an Apple SCSI cdrom to extract a perfect copy of any CD, too. I use it to make exact perfect images of CDs where other software and procedures fail to make a 100% copy. A/UX install Cd for example. It has a few volumes, one of which is hidden and normal CD extractions of that CD miss some of the hidden structures and volumes.

Posted by: reddrag0n on 2023-03-15 16:37:19 i have played with these options before with other macs, so maybe there is a software piece or a step i'm missing

Posted by: Phipli on 2023-03-15 16:48:39 View attachment 53677 Daft question, is the sound turned up? Does it quack if you click quack?
Posted by: reddrag0n on 2023-03-15 16:49:34 Daft question, is the sound turned up? Does it quack if you click quack? yes it does, and i found out that if i save the file using simplesound in the applications folder, it works
Posted by: Phipli on 2023-03-15 16:49:56 the built in sound app That's a control panel, not an application. It's just the sound settings manager. But it should still work. Is "Simple Sound" in the Apple Menu?
Posted by: Phipli on 2023-03-15 16:50:31 using simplesound in the applications folder, Ah, you found it.
