    Our Technology

    Bit-Perfect CD Extraction.

    CD-Rs have a limited lifespan — the organic dye layer that stores your data degrades over time, especially when exposed to heat, humidity, or sunlight. Many home-burned CDs from the early 2000s are already showing signs of data loss.

    Our professional disc drives perform a bit-perfect digital extraction — reading the audio data directly from the disc with advanced error correction. The result is a lossless copy that sounds identical to the original recording, delivered as MP3, WAV, or FLAC files.

    Had a box of CD-Rs with recordings of my kids' piano recitals from the early 2000s. Half of them wouldn't play anymore but Capture recovered everything. So grateful.

    Converted about 50 audio CDs to MP3 files. Super easy process — shipped them in, got digital files back in two weeks. Great quality.

    Most of my CDs were in good shape but a few had scratches. They managed to get the audio off all of them. Only minor issue was one track had a tiny skip.

    My late father had recorded hours of family stories on CD-Rs. Capture digitized all 20 discs perfectly. These recordings are priceless to our family.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions.

    What types of CDs do you accept?

    We accept all CD formats including audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, data CDs, mixed-mode discs, and multi-session CDs. Whether it's a professionally pressed album or a home-burned disc of family recordings, we can digitize it.

    What format will my audio files be in?

    Audio CDs are delivered as high-quality MP3 files by default (320 kbps). If you prefer lossless quality, we can provide WAV or FLAC files upon request.

    Can you recover audio from scratched CDs?

    In most cases, yes. Our professional-grade disc drives use advanced error correction that goes far beyond what consumer CD players can do. We can typically recover audio from lightly to moderately scratched discs.

    How long does CD to digital conversion take?

    Processing typically takes 2–3 weeks from the day we receive your discs. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your files are ready.

    Will I get my original CDs back?

    Yes, always. Your original discs are returned via FedEx in the same shipment as your digital output.

    Can you convert commercial music CDs?

    We can rip audio from commercial CDs for personal backup purposes in accordance with fair use. However, we cannot mass-duplicate copyrighted content for distribution.
