Ripping CDs

With WAC700 Center, you can rip audio CD tracks from your pre-recorded CDs and store them as MP3 files in the Center’s hard disk.

The Gracenote® music recognition service enables your set to look up from its built-in database the CD track information (including album, artist, genre, track information). It allows the ripped CD tracks to be properly categorized (for example, under Artists, Albums, Genres or All tracks) and also merged with the existing tracks in the harddisk. To update your Gracenote® music recognition service database, see the manual Connect to your PC.
