Why use The RipFactory?
Be Responsible!
We support the intellectual property rights of recording artists and understand the importance of copyright protection. We are opposed to illegal distribution of counterfeit CDs, illegal music downloading or the sharing of copyright materials in a digital format.
We expect you to take responsibility for the ownership of your Digital Music Library. Do not upload your digital content to file sharing services. It is illegal to give your files to another person or to share them via the network. Please use your digital music library responsibly.
Watermarking
All your files are Watermarked. This protects the encoding company (The RipFactory), the copyright holder (such as the
artist or record label), and the end user (you), against the illegal sharing of
copyright material. Watermarking provides traceability for each audio file
generated by The RipFactory.
This acts as a discouragement to any
individual by allowing full ‘track and trace’ facilities of each file
if it is shared on illegal peer to peer services.
Because we are the first legal digital ripping service provider in New Zealand!
We have carefully selected our partners,
technology, equipment and packages, to produce the highest quality output and best service
possible.
All
CD's processed are licensed strictly to the CD's owner with The
RipFactory paying a licensing fee to PPNZ (Phonographic Performance New

Because we use the best data sources
Metadata – the text information detail of an album
is the key to navigation ease and finding the correct track, album or
artist you
want played. This data is normally grabbed from the internet from
sources of
information that are submitted by end users. This can contain incorrect
information, misspelling and differing artist names, which can cause
navigation issues. Our technology uses licensed, paid for metadata
services from industry leaders, All Music (www.allmusic.com)
and GD3 (www.getdigitaldata.com). These companies present the information in a consistent and precise manner each and every
time. With a combined collection size of over 5 million albums, our data
sources provide us accurate, current information for almost every album you send to us
for processing.

We’ll save you time…
We’re sure you’ve got better things to do than spending hours ripping your own CD’s. In the first place, it takes from 8-10 minutes to convert each CD and countless hours editing tags. At 10 minutes a CD, a 200 CD collection takes at least 30 solid hours to rip. And that's just the beginning...
