MusicShifter's CD ripping service condenses your physical CDs into their digital form that can be stored on multiple DVD discs or an optional hard drive.

But MusicShifter takes the archiving of your CDs a step further with our exclusive DVD-Dex^TM indexing system. With DVD-Dex^TM all of your DVDs will be numbered sequentially (eg. "Disc 3 of 14") and all artist albums are sorted alphabetically from the first disc to the last disc.

In addition, we provide a master index file that lists where each CD is archived on the sequence of DVDs. This is very useful for partial restores of selected music and helps you truly randomly access any albums from your DVD archive.

Other ripping services treat the DVDs they produce as an inexpensive bulk shipping medium to get your music files from their systems to your computer. But MusicShifter's DVD-Dex^TM system truly adds value to your DVD archived music collection.

Also unlike other ripping services that use the least expensive no-name DVD media brand available in bulk, we use only the highest quality Taiyo Yuden premium archival class DVD media that is designed to safely store your music collection for many years to come.

Repurchasing the music you already own at an online music store costs roughly $12-$15 per CD ($0.99 per song, 12-15 songs per CD). Why waste the investment you've already made in your CD collection?

MusicShifter—costing just $0.69/CD versus $12-$15/CD at an online music store—will save you at least 90%. Shift your music into digital gear the smart way.

CD audio provides a full-range pristine copy of your music. We can make perfect conversions from this pristine source. The quality of our conversions match or exceed that found at online music stores.

The tragic loss of your old cassette collection won't happen with your CDs this time!
