Alright, I'm curious if anyone knows how to rip an SACD (that's not a hybrid) to a pc... as I have an album that I bought used that turned out to be an SACD and I can't put it on the computer... anyone have any suggestions? -------------

Actually there is a way, it requires you to use an SACD player and hooking it up to the computer and recording it manually. But I don't have an SACD player, so this purchase was completely useless and now I'm short 10 bucks... -------------

My Moody Blues SACDs work on normal players, I guess your Peter Gabriel album doesn't. There must be a way, surely? -------------

Oh there is, you'd have to do it the same way you'd rip a vinyl to the computer. You have to connect through the analogues on an exterior player and record them manually through a recording program of some kind. -------------

| Cygnus has got it. Computers don't play sacd, but you can plug the sacd player into you soundcard input and record it. You don't need specialised software, windows recorder will do it. Once you have the wav files do with them what you will. Not the best result quality wise, I daresay. |

The quality isn't great unless you have a quality recording program, which I'm lucky to have. Now all I need is an SACD player and I can do it... -------------

For sure you can record the analogue outputs, as with any audio source. But it's still not possible to rip the digital information!

If they're the same Moody Blues SACDs as mine, they're hybrids.
