The RAW Encoder is used to create RAW files.
Simply select Riptastic! RAW Encoder from the Encoder Selector before ripping.
The RAW Encoder is the simplest encoder and has no configuration options.
It produces raw audio files straight from CD.
A RAW file contains only audio data and NO additional information such as sample rate, etc.
Therefore it's recommended that you use the WAV Encoder over the RAW Encoder unless you have a specific need for a RAW file.
RAW files are encoded in little-endian format:
| Byte |
Contents |
| 0 |
Sample 0 Left LSB |
| 1 |
Sample 0 Left MSB |
| 2 |
Sample 0 Right LSB |
| 3 |
Sample 0 Right MSB |
| ... |
| 4 * n |
Sample n Left LSB |
| 4 * n + 1 |
Sample n Left MSB |
| 4 * n + 2 |
Sample n Right LSB |
| 4 * n + 3 |
Sample n Right MSB |
