CDXTRACT 4 Beta 2
April 29th, 2007 by Colin
Ok, so I’ve been majorly slacking on the CDXTRACT 4 front for the past several months. However, in the last couple of days I decided to clean up some of my pending changes and release a new beta. I have not updated the documentation in this release. The changes I can remember are as follows:
- Changer Support (Drives can be grouped together with the changers configuration menu)
- CDDB Submission Support
- MusicBrainz Metadata Retrieval
- Various Bugfixes And Architectural Changes
To use the infamous Nakamichi changers, each drive should be configured as a Sony/Plextor Drive with Secure Extractor. Note: Secure Extractor will need to be configured to not read C2 errors as the drive doesn’t support the feature. Currently, the Secure Extractor plugin is significantly slower than the old CDXTRACT 3 synchronized extractor, but the results are far more trustable. I would say this drive is probably good enough for normal lossy ripping applications, but I cannot recommend it for lossless archival ripping until I finish Secure Extractor 2, which will be far more intelligent than the current one.
