And if you go to their website, NONE of the download links are active. I haven't used Audiograbber in many years, but based on what I read about it this morning, I'd stay away from it. I've been using XRECODE, but now it's no longer free. The last (free) version is still good, but I'll give CDex a try - thanks!

It is very fast and easy and the music is great quality. Automatically adds information such album title, artist and genre. I think you should try. http://www.smartcdripper.com What I have used and recommend is Smart CD Ripper by SmartSoft. It is very fast and easy and the music is great quality.

I have used audiograbber for years and it is the best ripper out there. The only possible concern is that they are not updating the program any longer so there is the possibility of issues moving forward with new Operating Systems. But also as juz me said, the program doesn't rely on registery or ini file settings so it is less likely to be impacted by OS changes. I agree with juz me.

It copies the audio digitally-not through the soundcard-which enables you to make perfect copies of the originals. It can even perform a test to see that the copies really are perfect. Audiograbber can also automatically normalize the music, delete silence from the start and/or end of tracks, and send them to a variety or external MP3 encoders, such as Fraunhofers L3enc, or even use some MP3/WMA encoders internally for automatic creation of MP3's. Audiograbber can download and upload disc info from freedb, an Internet compact disc database. You can even record your vinyl LP's or cassette tapes with Audiograbber and make wav's or MP3's of them. There are a lot more functions in Audiograbber, but to put it simply: Audiograbber has the most features one can wish from such a program! Significant advantages: A nice and easy understandable user interface. A good helpfile with descriptions of all functions and settings. The program is very flexible and configurable and still easy to understand. It works with almost all CD-ROM drives that can read digital audio. Another great thing with this software is that it does not put a single file in your windows directories! No DLL's, OCX's, device drivers, spyware, adware or whatever else that messes up the computer. Not a single entry in the registry or win.ini.

Until the makers of CDex explain why an email address is needed, they are not getting my real one." The CDDB server requires the email address if you want to submit fixes to the song title, album title, etc. This has nothing to do with CDex really, other than they might get their software blacklisted from the server for using a generic email address for submissions. “Now, I have absolutely no idea why an email address is needed so I entered a fake one and you should too.

You can rip into whatever format you want (FLAC, mp3, OGG, APE) as long as you download the codec. EAC is the best.

For me to use Windows Media Player to do it, I would have to purchase the codec for the mp3. Why spend money when you can find something comparable to do it for free?
