Save Valuable Time
Ripping 100s of CDs on a home computer can take weeks, even months. Most people do not have the time, patience, or technical knowledge to suffer through such a long, tediuous endeavor. Riptopia processes thousands of CDs a day. This amazing capacity was designed for both speed and accuracy and is unparalleled in the digital music industry. Now you have access to the same professional processing used by record labels, radio stations, and online music sites. You only need to digitize your CD collection once, so do it right. Plus, Riptopia is available in three different service levels: 50 CDs, 100 CDs, and 200 CDs.

Ensure Superior Sound Quality
Riptopia ensures that your new music sounds fantastic by digitizing to higher technical standards then digital music sold online. Riptopia's Nirvana processing system was optimized for used CD collections. Created by experts in the scientific and academic fields, the Nirvana system can resurrect CDs that appear to be unplayable, turning forgotten music into rediscovered gems.

Provide Vital Album Information
Digital players allow a specific song or artist to be found in an instant--provided the album information embedded in the digital song is correct and consistant. Riptopia's CleanTag process embeds accurate music information, including vibrant album art, into the music files to simplify these searches. The process starts with a database of 70 million unique songs in 80 different languages from our partners Gracenote and Muze (The same data partners as Apple Music Store). CleanTag then combines a verification system and a team of musicologists to check the album data for accuracy and completeness. The result is easily searchable music that is accurate--important for rock and pop but critical for classical and jazz.

Back Up Your Digital Music
Riptopia delivers your new digital music library on high density data DVDs. Each DVD can hold up to 100 of your CDs. After uploading your music onto your computer, iPod, phone, or music server, the DVDs can be stored in case your digital player is misplaced or your hard drive crashes. Having the piece of mind that your digital collection is protected is a key reason for having Riptopia's professional service create your digital music archive.

It really is 'digital bliss'

2007-11-01
As a busy mom, business owner and active community member, the joy of listening to my music (300+ cds) had all about disappeared. The thought of buying an iPod and finding time to load a CD on it here and there seemed like an impossibility as well as a waste of time. Finding Riptopia, buying my iPod from them and having them load my CDs for me, was an invaluable investment...saving time, sanity and adding music back in to my life. The entire process was easy and I received great customer service as an iPod novice. This is a fantastic service for anyone who no longer wants to be a digital dinosaur but doesn't have the time or desire to commit to a timely process. It was super when my package arrived with my fully loaded iPod and I now feel reconnected with my music that had been absent from my life for quite a long time.

What would I have done without Riptopia?

2007-10-19
This service saved me literally hundreds of hours of mindnumbing work. I'm a big classical listener, and it's especially frustrating having to enter all those fields (composer, movement, artist, etc). Riptopia did it quickly and well. For the first time "Beethoven" always appears in my iTunes as a composer, not an artist. This used to drive me nuts. I'll be using Riptopia again in the near future.

so worth it

2007-10-06
My husband gave me an iPod last year... if not for Riptopia I would have perhaps one album downloaded from iTunes on it, and it would still be sitting in a drawer collecting dust! I have a demanding preschooler, and neither the time nor the inclination to painstakingly rip five hundred CDs to my computer before transferring stuff over to my music player.

Instead, thanks to this service I've rediscovered my love of music (what? they didn't stop writing new music after I graduated from high school?), and I take my iPod everywhere with me. Oh, and we've been able to move our stacks and stacks of CDs out of the way (the attic), plus we have a handy compact backup on DVD. I'm glad we got this done, and done right!

Great Time Saver

2007-10-06
This service is Fantastic! I sent them my ipod and all my CDs, and in three days I had ALL of my music loaded and ready to go, something I had been TRYING to find time to do for nearly a year. Having an ipod is great, but having an ipod with all of my 350 CDs ripped onto it is fantastic! I would recommend this service to anyone who doesn't have enough time. Why wait to listen to your music??

Time is Money, and Riptopia saved mine

2007-10-01
I had 500 of my CDs professionally processed by Riptopia. Just for fun, I decided to calculate how much it would have cost to 1) Re-purchase my CD collection digitally at $.99 per song, which makes no sense 2) Rip all 500 CDs myself. Assuming 10 minutes per CD times 500 discs this equates to about 83 straight hours of ripping. At my current salary that would be $4,670.00, not to mention how happy my wife is that I can spend nights and weekends with the family instead. If your time is valuable, Riptopia is a great service

Stupidest Thing Ever

2008-01-31
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

It takes (using a fairly up-to-date computer) about 3 minutes to rip a CD to a computer. The programs are free (Windows Media Player/iTunes) and no-brainers to use.

I can't believe Amazon annoyed me with this advertisement, assuming I'm too stupid to know how to rip CDs or that I "want to save time". People do what they want to do - find the time to rip your CDs to the computer. If you "can't find the time" then you're obviously not very interested.

No way in hell I'm going to pay someone 200 dollars to rip 200 of MY CDs that I have to ship myself and risk losing/damaging because of someone else's mistake.

Anyone who uses this service is a fool and deserves to get taken for everything they give these people.

service makes sense to me

2008-01-31
If you have hundreds of CDs then ripping them at home will take multiple hundreds of minutes. The reviewer who said this didn't make sense obviously has not amassed much of a collection.

This service is for 200 CDs, you think I want to sit in front of a computer for 200 x 7 minutes? That's over 23 hours straight. I'd pay someone do that for me.

Not all of us are penny pinching scousers.

Are you mental?

2008-01-30
Why on earth would you pay somebody hundreds of dollars to rip your CD's for you? It takes minutes per CD and using CDDB you don't even have to enter the text yourself!

It is possibly the worst idea ever and if you waste money on this, frankly, you have been deservedly robbed.

I am annoyed that Amazon even sent me an email telling me about this fantastic product, and it has wound me up so much I have had to write a review of it.

Initially a Skeptic

2008-01-15
So the first time I came across Riptopia I thought, my son can do this for me, why pay. Then I thought...I have been asking him to do this for 6 months, as well as wash the car and take out the trash. Bottom line is Riptopia is not a necessity, just as getting my car washed and having someone clean my home isn't a necessity.
And after having my collection done, I realize that my son would have screwed up the information on my classical albums, so there is actually more then meets the eye to this service, and Riptopia got my iPod up and running pretty darn quick.

It can even rip its own reviews

2007-12-25
Any service that inspires 5 people who have never reviewed anything else on Amazon to write a review that sounds just like a marketing pitch must be fantastic!
