ripped music from audio cds, the sounds are distorted?

Question

all the music i've recorded from cds doesn't sound "normal". have adjusted the audios and sounds in the control panel, still didn't work. i have real player and windows media player.

Answer 1

Uninstall media player and then go to microsoft and download media player 10 and try ripping them again. Don't use real player. On playback turn down the volume on the media player and up on your speakers for better quality.

Answer 2

Use dedicated software to rip your cds to mp3 - use a bitrate of no less than 128kbps, or 192kpbs if you have the disk space.

All require a learning curve, some steeper than others but it is a matter of which you feel most comfortable using

Answer 3

Check the bit-rate you are using when sampling the CD. The higher the bit-rate, then the better the quality. For MP3 try 192kb og higher, for WMA 128kb or higher.

It may also be worth closing other applications, as already suggested.

Answer 4

You should disable all other programs before recording music. This includes your screen saver. it will allow the recording program to optomize you ram without any interuptions caused by running too many programs at the same time.
