Ripping and such things

[Bruce Rigsby]

Thanks for this, Claire.  I'll check it out.

Phil Cash Cash sent me a private message from Idaho the other day which
recommends a commercial product, SoundSoap.  He wrote:

Thanks Bruce,

I recall you had a question about audio restoration software.  The software
that I have been using with some success is:

SoundSoap
http://www.bias-inc.com/products/soundsoap/

I have and will be running a number of older recordings and am greatly
impressed so far.  It works for both Windows and Macs.

However, SoundSoap costs about US$100, so I'll save it as last resort if and
when I need it.

Best regards, Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Wavepad http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/ is supposed to be good, but I 
haven't tried it.
