Solve : Best program for ripping music from a DVD??

Answer»

I have a DVD with music that I would like to rip to a CD for playing in my CAR.  Three possible free programs have been suggested through internet research and I would like to know if anyone has had experience with any of these programs and which one would be the best one?  They are:
Switch Audio File Converter
DVD Audio Ripper
Free DVD MP3 Ripper
                                           Thank you,.................That may be illegal.
There is a legal problem. You want to copy music from one media to another. If you do not have a license to do that, you break the law.

This sounds unfair? Well,  instead of buying each song or album you want, you can buy a Steele radio and get endless service for a year.

Satellite radio is a radio service broadcast from satellites primarily to CARS, with the signal broadcast nationwide, across a MUCH wider geographical area than terrestrial radio stations.[1][2] It is available by subscription, mostly commercial free, and offers subscribers more stations and a wider variety of programming options than terrestrial radio.[3]
Satellite radio technology was inducted into the Space Foundation Space Technology Hall of Fame in 2002.[4]
It is now available in most of the world

Satellite radio uses the 2.3 GHz S band in North America for nationwide digital audio broadcasting (DAB).[34] In other parts of the world, satellite radio uses the 1.4 GHz L band allocated for DAB.[19]

Satellite radio subscribers purchase a receiver and pay a monthly subscription fee to listen to programming. They can listen through built-in or portable receivers in automobiles; in the home and office with a portable or tabletop receiver equipped to connect the receiver to a stereo system; or on the Internet.[35]

Ground stations transmit signals to the satellites, which are orbiting over 22,000 miles above the surface of the Earth. The satellites send the signals back down to radio receivers in cars and homes. This signal contains scrambled broadcasts, along with meta data about each specific broadcast. The signals are unscrambled by the radio receiver modules, which display the broadcast information. In urban areas, ground repeaters enable signals to be available even if the satellite signal is blocked. The technology allows for nationwide broadcasting, so that, for instance US listeners can hear the same stations anywhere in the country.[19][36
My point is this: Making copies of music can  make you a criminal. But  Satellite Radio system gives you all the music you could want for a modest price.


Copying music and other media for personal use falls under Fair use.

The one exception- at least in the United States which is presumably where the OP is- is for copy protection. If the media in question is copy protected, attempting to circumvent or using software to workaround that protection would violate the DMCA.

That does raise the question if usage of the software is itself a violation of the DMCA, or if it is a violation to create or traffic the software. I'm not a lawyer of course so I do not know.

One possible "workaround" would be to record the audio output by a DVD player during playback, as that is not working around any encryption at all.http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-*SPAM URL*.htmYou can make a copy of an original DVD or CD for personal use.  The key to avoiding legal issues is that the copy must be for personal use.  In other words, you may not distribute copies to other PEOPLE or engage in commercial activity, i.e. sell copies you've burned.  Reference: http://www.riaa.com/physicalpiracy.php?content_selector=piracy_online_the_law  Scroll down to the section on Copying CDs for the info pertaining to this subject. 

Regarding ripping, Windows Explorer can be used to do that.  Reference: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/burn-a-cd-or-dvd-in-windows-explorer  If want more references, do a search on can cd be burn via windows explorer.  In some areas, it's legal for personal uses.

I've already covered that point. He's been illustrating points made all over the place.... I have no intentions of selling the CD.  I just wanted to be able to play it in my car.  I had found those three programs at this website when I Googled the original question as to whether it could be done or not, and I didn't know if anyone on this forum was familiar with any of those and which one would be the easiest to use.

I've had satellite radio and it doesn't work well where I live and travel.

Thank you all for your responses.Find out what format your car CD player likes...Burn accordingly...
