Publisher's Description
From Bi Lindbergh:
Track Thief is a small program for converting audio tracks on a CD to AIFF files on a hard disk. I wrote it because I couldn't find any programs that use the reliable buffering feature of Apple's CD driver to read audio data in streaming mode rather than overlapping mode. When the destination disk is fast enough (and unfragmented enough) to keep up, this can make a big difference in speed.QuickTime's audio track import has gotten faster recently. Version 4.0 is less than 2% slower than Track Thief. It still doesn't handle audio tracks on CD-ROMs, though.
What's new in this version:
- New code that runs when the app is brought to front and suppresses the re-scan of each drive when the disc hasn't changed. This used to wipe out any messages from the last theft operation and clear the track selection.
- Stopping rather than pausing the playback before starting a theft turned out to be a good idea on machines with no analog audio path from the CD drive.
- On multisession CDs, Apple's CD player seems to use the lead-out address from the first rather than the last sess... See all new features
