User Reviews

  • Very nice and powerful software, you can rip any CD and convert the file into numerous format, also into two, three or more at the same time: ROOM (rip once output many)! And the project still maintained, it is good news for the future.
  • This product is insanely underrated. It extracts CD's, fetches metadata, encodes with almost every encoder in existence. The only criticism I would give is that the interface is a bit dated, but it also makes it pretty straightforward. I use Linux so I convert all my files to the king of lossy codecs, OPUS 128kbps.
  • I have been using this product for years. I'm thrilled someone has the knowledge and time to construct such a fine product and the dedication to stay with the project for years to improve it as operating systems and hardware change. Too many excellent projects hosted on this platform (SourceForge) fall victim to boredom or changing personal priorities and are left to die slowly with no one picking up the project. I see it with great applications on Debian, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD, where many applications need a maintainer or the package is broken and needs a maintainer. Also, think about contributing to the project when you download the files. You could contribute time coding if you have the skill set or funding. This is an excellent piece of software so act like it. Send the project team or code writer a few dollars for coffee if you have used the software for a while and like it.
