How to ripping CDs using my CD transport

[merlin el mago]

I want to use my CD transport CEC TL1 to rip all my CD collection, the question is how to connect to my PC/laptop because I want to use EAC software.

TIA for help

You need a CD/DVD drive hooked to your PC (IDE, SATA, USB).

Wouldn't it be far easier to us the one in your laptop?

ripping happens in the digital domain. resultant WAV or FLAC files will be bit to bit pure (error free) FWIW The tricky audio parts only takes place in the digital to analog conversion IE playback of yer rips.
use any old usb CD/DVD burner an let EAC program notify you of any errors that might have been corrected.

You need a PC CD/DVD drive that reports errors correctly, the list is available in EAC documentation. Nowadays most do, but if it's an old one, better check.

My CD transport only have one S/PDIF output, there is an adaptor or something to USB?

No, use the built-in or add-on PC CD/DVD drive.

Why don't you want to try your car stereo? It accepts CDs too.

OK, you can record the SPDIF output of your CD transport using soundcard with SPDIF input, then split the continuous recorded stream into indivitual tracks (manually or using a custom-made sox script), add track names manually a be happy to have wasted the afternoon. Or you can use your BD drive and be done in minutes. Your expensive transport has no additional value in this task, actually it makes no sense to use it.

that output is incompatible with 99% PC inputs. yer trying to hammer a square peg using that gear.

Thanks but I my car is new and don't play CDs....

 

[phofman]

Then go ahead and buy an older car, it makes about the same sense.

Actually the post you quoted tells you exactly what you need to do. But due to the nature of your question it is obvious such procedure is way too complicated for you (and absolutely useless too), everyone is telling you to go the all-PC way.
