Review
This review applies to version 3.1
The latest version of this software will soon be reviewed by our
informers.
FreeRIP is a Windows application that enables users to extract audio tracks from CDs and convert them to MP3 audio format or others. It rips fast enough and supports lossless encoding. It has a clean, simple interface that has been renewed in this version with bigger icons and more comprehensive options.
It isn't just a simple program because once the tracks are ripped these can be tagged thanks to the online CD databases. It also converts CDs to WAV, WMA, FLAC, and OGG Vorbis. Plus it is able to generate playlists in M3U, PLS, B4S, HTML or CSV.
Another great thing about FreeRIP is that the volume of the ripped tracks may be adjusted. It also integrates a search function for finding images, videos and lyrics related to the music. Additionally, it has a local artist database for faster CD data retrieval. If this database is not found, then it goes to the web.
Finally, FreeRIP includes in this version proper WMA audio support, which was not present in older ones. They also fixed clipping bug and updated LAME and FLAC libraries.
Great free application, it gets the job done really well so users can have their music on their MP3 players since CDs are barely used these days. It is compatible with all Windows systems from '95.
Beware of the installation, and read it carefully as it contains adware, like a "Search Toolbar". |
