Smart Ripper "Selector-izes" audio as it rips it from CD, first identifying and then adding to your music database the Song Title, Artist, Album Name, duration, Ending type, Beats Per Minute and Musical Key... all automatically.

Make sure that the disc is clean and free of scratches. Smart Ripper needs a good copy to work with in order to avoid data errors during the reading process.

CD-Rs和CD-RWs比制造商复制磁盘有更低的反射率。如果您的CD驱动很现代，它应该支持最普遍的媒体，如CD-R和CD-RW。如果不行，用个更新的CD驱动再试一次。

Most of the Internet services that identify CD titles use a patented algorithm that scans the sector location addresses on the CD to determine a unique identity for each disc. Some CDs are so new they haven't yet been entered into the service's database. Promotional CDs, CDs of syndicated programs and CD Singles with one or two tracks usually create multiple matches due to too few tracks. When CDs have extra "bonus" tracks they can create a false identification. A custom-made CD-R for example, it will not be found in the database. Also many international CDs are not in the US version of the CD Index Smart Ripper uses.

If Smart Ripper is getting a lot of data read errors due to a dirty or scratched disc, it will retry the bad sectors many times over until it can confirm the read. This will slow down the ripping process considerably. Be sure the disc is a clean as possible. You may have to polish out any scratches if this is the only copy of a particular disc.

No. Smart Ripper can only rip standard audio discs (CD-DA) that adhere to the "Red Book" standard.
