CD Ripping Issue again

Support

I am trying to rip a CD Box set but I am getting a message that Advanced Meta-Data API is currently not available and so will not rip any CD in the set. Is this a similar issue we’ve had before?

Thanks, Paul

Yes, we are aware of the situation, we are waiting on the 3rd party provider, no ETA at this time.

Still appears to be down. Any ETA?

The best solution I personally found, was to purchase a copy of dBpoweramp. :blush:

I have a copy if it, but it is not as convenient as ripping the disk right into my K21…and that’s what I like about the K21.

While I fundamentally agree with you. However, in the Antipodes user guide, concerning ripping CD’s, it does make the point “that great things take time.” Maybe this was referring to the metadata service being intermittent in operation.:blush:

Mark, we all bought 20KUSD music servers. For that money you can expect a product to work.

It’s not working, nothing we can do about it, no timeline - the same status for a month now. You are aware that you are just right now killing your market and pushing customers over to Taiko, right?

I understand the CD Ripping situation is a frustration; one we are all experiencing, however, it is beyond our control. The metadata service is not controlled by Antipodes Audio.
We are working on solutions; however, there is no ETA I can give.

In the interim, I suggest using either EAC or dbPoweramp for your ripping needs.
