| Q: |
What
is Zlurp! and why do I want to use it? |
| A: |
Zlurp! is
an ALL-IN-ONE CD audio tool. It rips, encodes and tags CDs. If you want
to burn your own custom CDs, or create MP3s to listen to on your computer
or portable player, you need Zlurp! |

| Q: |
I get an error when I try to rip the last song before a data track. How do I rip this track? |
| A: |
There is a setting, multimedia offset, you need to tweak if you have an
error ripping a track that is followed by a data track. Depending on what
CD drive you have, the calculation for how long that last track really is
can vary. If the drive thinks the track is longer than it really is, when
Zlurp hits the data, it thinks there's a problem.
Here's what you do...
Go to Settings, Input/Output
You will be changing the value in the Multimedia Offset field. Try
bumping it up by 2. The higher this number, the shorter you are making the
last track.
Hit OK
Then you must Get Info AGAIN! This is a very important step - this is
where Zlurp! will recalculate the track length.
Select the track and rip it!
If you still get the problem message, go back and bump up the number again.
If you bump it up too high, you will cut off some of the song, so listen to
that last track and see if it gets chopped off. If that happens, adjust the
value 1 or 2 lower!
Once you have gotten this value set, you shouldn't have to redo it again for
that CD drive.

| Q: |
What
CD-Rom drive should I use? |

| Q: |
Can
I use external encoders with Zlurp!? |
| A: |
Yes, in fact
all encoders are external. Zlurp! is just a great front-end. |
|
|
| Q: |
Where
can I get encoders that will work with Zlurp!? |
| A: |
Zlurp! supports
all forms of compression. The fastest MP3 encoder to date is L.A.M.E.
which is what comes with ZLURP. There are many other encoders, but MP3
is by far the most popular. Go to our DOWNLOAD
section for more info. |

ZLURP! run on Windows 2000/Windows XP? |

|
|
| Q: |
Why
won't ZLURP! work with SCSI cdrom drives? |
| A: |
Currently
ZLURP! only works on IDE devices. |
|
|
| Q: |
Is
there anyway to make ZLURP! work faster? |
| A: |
Yes, make
sure you have DMA turned on your cd-rom drive.
Have a second
drive as just a scratch drive for ripping and encoding. |
