I used to use a ripper software for my old dell but now Im on Mac im not sure what to use.
I want to rip whole songs then cut them up into loops for ableton fun.
who does this best (and cheapest
)
most rippers work in mp3 and I dont want to up convert.
any thoughts much appreciated.
Danny.

That's what the Mac is missing, needs Soundforge porting over!

iTunes.
In preferences, just make sure you're set to import as .aif and you're good to go.
"Mac is missing..." Har!

Even easier, this is a Mac after all.
* Put the audio CD into the tray
* It's mounting, open the mounted dir
* Drag out the needed AIFF files to your hard disk folder.
* (if unsure which one to drag over , click on each of them, most likely the default Quicktime Player will open with the file).
* Even easier, open the volume in 'inspection mode', the one with three views, select the AIFF file, and you should see a simple player in the rightmost view, play to know which audio file it is.

This is a good tip, but unfortunately it bypasses the CD-scratch detection that iTunes can use to repair scratched CD's while ripping. If the CD is in good shape, then go for it, though.
