Ripping audio from a CD to MP3, please help.

I have the Zwan CD, which came with a video DVD of unreleased songs and live performances. I love the unreleased songs, and want to get them onto my ipod. The only solution I've been able to think of is to play it loudly over my soundsticks, and record it back onto my HD as a sound file. Of course, the quality on this is gonna suck. Any idea how I can rip the music, or find an application that'll digitally record the music? Thanks:)
 
insert cd, open iTunes, click on cd, click import

(you may want to get track names from cddb too -advanced menu)
 
It's not a CD that I'm trying to rip from. It's a DVD that came bundled with the CD. They have several videos of live performances, and I'd like to rip the audio from the DVD in a manner so as to get it onto my iPod.
 
hmm search the cd (with finder) for audio files, see what format they are, you should be able to convert them to mp3
 
I tried that, I opened the DVD in the finder, and there's an AUDIO_TS and a VIDEO_TS folder...inside the video folder, there are a few .BUP, .IFO, and .VOB files. In the audio folder, it says that there are zero items. Does anyone know of any way to digitally extract the audio track?
 
There are also excellent software to get the audio from the DVD files.

Lots of them available in the April issue of MacWorld.
 
There are now a bunch of freeware tools available to extract video/audio from DVDs. So MacOSX.com doesn't get in trouble with the MPAA's lawyers, I believe we really can't discuss any of them here.

I can tell you that a search over at versiontracker.com or macupdate.com will yield them.

Once extracted to DiVX or MPEG, you should be able to de couple the audio portion using QT Pro or whichever video editor you use...

Good luck!
 
Hi. Dear friend. I don't know what Max it is. But I know a wonderful audio recorder which can help me record audio and convert it into mp3 or other popular formats.

Booker, I know a great program for that as well: iTunes. And it does it for free, unlike the programs that you have been advertising in 60 % of your posts in these threads resurrected after over half a decade since their creation.
