On average, it takes over 16 hours to encode a collection of 100 CDs. And that is if you sit by your computer for the entire time. (This is based on software standard setting which is generally lower than our standard option).
If you use Shrink Digital, it’ll take just 30 minutes of your time to place your order, put your CDs and MP3 player into our tailor-made packaging when it arrives and hand over to the courier when he calls at your house.
More Accurate
The time taken to encode your CD collection does not include the time that it takes to name the tracks as well. Most encoding software uses free internet databases to match the CD then name the tracks. At Shrink Digital we run our own database of CD matches and maintain the list so that artist and album names match. They are even in the correct genre.
Better Quality
Most encoding programs are not set to get the best recording from your CD. Few will detect errors on the CD (such as scratches). Our software has been designed to detect such defects to give the best quality encoding possible.
Longer Lasting
To future proof your CD collection we encode the cover art of the album into each music file and include it as a picture file in the album folder. These pictures can be viewed on MP3 players with colour screens and many music playing packages on your computer.
More Extras
To ensure you get the most from your collection, we have online collection checking (for track information and cover art), syncing of music to MP3 player and a copy of your collection on either DVD or CD. These services are standard options and free with your order.
