Audiograbber "grabs" virtual DAEMON-drive....

#1 09 Feb 2005 @ 4:42
I tried to search for this but with no results - in any case, I apologise if this has been debated. I have used Audiograbber for a long time and recently installed DAEMON Tools on a fresh install to mount an image of my encyclopedia. Now, when I installed Audiograbber, all it could "see" was the generic drive produced by the DAEMON manager - no other was available. I can of course just disable the virtual drive to make my real cd-rom-drive reappear but it's not a very good solution. Can anybody think of a better one?

have you tried changing the drive letters so your virtual drive is after your real drive? you could also try another ripping program, like EAC.

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

Uhm I wouldn't really know how - the DAEMON options only allow for changing the number of devices, so I guess it would mean getting Windows to assign a different letter to the non-virtual drive. In any case, it's somewhat embarrasing but the problem simply solved itself. I ran audiograbber once without running DAEMON in the background - got it to see the CD-ROM-drive - and now it recognises it even when the virtual drives are there. So there. Sorry for the inconvenience :)
