What does Rip ‘n' Play do? – We convert and organize your entire CD listening library into the mp3 format in several days, saving you from the chore. If you were to do it yourself an hour a day, it would take several months. How many audio CDs fit on a DVD? – One 4.7GB DVD holds about 50 audio CDs with mp3 files encoded at 192 kbps. Higher encoding rates and uncompressed or Lossless formats will decrease the number of audio CDs per DVD. Note: Lossless formats are larger files than standard MP3 and therefor require significantly more space to store depending on the size of your collection. As a result additional charges may apply to orders requesting lossless formats. Please contact us to discuss options surrounding file formats. What does it cost? – It costs $1.50 per CD for the first 100 CD's and $1.25 per CD for 101 – 500 CD's to convert to the MP3 format. An additional discount is given for quantities over 500. For more information about formats and pricing see our services page . How long does it take? – Turnaround time varies by the size of your CD collection, but it generally takes a week or less. Does Rip ‘n' Play deliver CD quality digital music files? – CDs are converted to mp3 format at 192 kbps, which is considered CD quality. Other formats and bit rates are available. Please contact us for details. Can I purchase an MP3 Player (iPod or other) or Hard Drive through Rip ‘n' Play? – Yes. We can arrange to purchase these items for you for delivery with your finished library. How much hard drive space will I need for my collection? – On average, 100 audio CDs in mp3 format at 192 kbps will take up approximately 10GB of hard drive space.
