I know it's not great, but at the end of the day, a second sound card recording the first one gets the job done. I have loads of rips I did that way. It's kind of annoying to splice the samples and re-encode them with the correct tags though. But by the time you figure out how to rip something directly, you may find that re-recording the audio is quicker.

It's better to avoid re-encoding as it lose quality.

Of course it is, no question. But when there's no other choice...

Ah yes, the modern day equivalent of recording radio broadcasts to magnetic tape. Made a few mixtapes that way myself. They were absolute garbage quality and I never listen to them anymore, but it was an interesting exercise and my only option for some stuff at the time.

Now I just buy as directly from the artist as I can for things that are rare enough that they are difficult to pirate.

we were "clever" and called the ka-chunk tapes because of the terrible song transitions. Yes Bandcamp has been my purchase site for a while now
