Audiograbber, CD-ripper for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
Rated • 22 reviews • software, computers, video, freeware, windows, music • com-us.net
A simple piece of free (as in beer) software that does exactly what it is supposed to do. Converts CD tracks directly to MP3 or Ogg (and a lot more). I just saw it read and extract clean audio from a CD that Windows Media Player rejected as too damaged to play.
Windows Media Player sends data to 3rd parties every time you use it to play an MP3. QuickTime steals file associations, blocking (for instance) U.S. Patent Office TIFF files. Real Player is really bloated. The free K-Lite Mega Codec Pack includes Media Player Classic, Real Alternative, Quick Time Alternative, and more. Multimedia problems? Solved.
