RipDigital Converts Your CDs to Digital Files for $1.00 a Disc

Now They Tell Me Dept: After I finished ripping my 500th CD in my attempt to go all digital, here come the slew of services designed to take the monotony out of converting to a digital music library.

RipDigital has a well-designed website and decent prices. Here’s how it works:

“To begin, tell us how many CDs you want to convert into digital music. We will deliver your digital music library on data DVDs for easy transfer onto your computer. Next, tell us if you want to purchase a portable hard drive preloaded with your music, in addition to the DVDs included in your package.

“RipDigital will send you everything you need to ship your CDs to us for conversion. Our customer kit includes spindles to hold your CDs along with protective padding, a pre-paid FedEx return label and packing tape. Simply load your CDs onto the spindles, seal the box and call FedEx for pickup. RipDigital insures all FedEx shipments for $10 per CD.”
