Easy CD-DA Extractor 7.0
Posted by Jason Dunn in "SOFTWARE" @ 03:00 PM
"For ripping audio CDs and converting tracks, Easy CD-DA Extractor excels. The interface is pleasant, and you can configure the well-organized software to suit your needs. We liked the slider in the conversion-progress box that lets you give the application higher or lower system priority. After you insert a CD, the Audio CD Ripper window displays information such as artist name, track list, production year, length of each track, and length of the total album. The output section of that window lets you set the destination folder, the quality and format of output tracks, and even filename format. MP3 settings include the ability to choose constant, average, or variable bit rates.
In the Audio File Format Converter window, you drop files from your PC into the folder on the screen, then select the format into which you wish to convert the files. The program supports a large list of lossy and lossless formats including MP3, Ogg Vorbis, APE, and AAC. The Audio CD Creator window lets you drop files into that screen, choose the recording speed, and enable or disable the test feature. Most users will find Easy CD-DA Extractor easy to use and full of features."
I've decided that I want to switch to an audio ripper that will actually verify what it's ripping, unlike Windows Media Player. Some of my rips lately have had bad data, which results in static or garbled audio during parts of the songs. This seems like a good program, so I'll take it for a spin. Anyone have any personal favourites? I used to use AudioGrabber but haven't re-visited it in quite some time.
