Audio Grabber v1.62 (W9x/NT4)New shareware version |
|
software/windows/multimed/audiograbber/
Audiograbber allows you to make digital rather than analog copies of music from a CD-ROM drive. Audio is normally routed via your sound card, thus undergoing a digital-analog-digital conversion. Audiograbber can be configured to test the quality of its recording; can automatically normalise the music; delete silence from the start and/or end of tracks; encode straight to MP3 format via internal MP3 or WMA (MS Audio 4.0) codecs, or send an extracted WAV file to an external MP3 encoder. Audiograbber also supports the downloading of CD track listings over the Internet via CDDB.
Note: In order to extract audio directly to MP3 or WMA format without an intermediate WAV file, your CD-ROM drive must support digital audio extraction. Some older drives do not support this technology. With older drives, you may need to extract to WAV format via the analog method.
This shareware version is restricted to ripping only half the tracks from a CD at once.
