This software rips Audio CDs and converts files between popular formats such as MP3, WMA, OGG, APE, FLAC, MPC, and WAV. Users can adjust settings like bit rate and frequency, and converted files retain ID3Tags data.
One feature that stood out to me was the ability to keep all ID3Tags' data intact during the conversion process. Usually, after audio file conversion, some of the ID3Tags' data fields get left out. This software solves this problem by automating the process of data collection, saving you time and effort. The program is user-friendly with a simple and organized interface that creates a hassle-free experience.
To start, all you have to do is insert your CD into the disk drive and select the software as the program for file processing. A wizard will guide you through the conversion process- from automatically getting song titles from the internet, specifying catalogs to save files to, selecting the music file format, to setting bit rate and frequency parameters. By following these steps, you'll get a copy of your Audio CD within minutes with minimum effort. Once the conversion process is complete, you can copy the files to your mp3 player and enjoy your music.
On top of that, you can reduce the diversity of your music collection to one common format, like MP3, with just a mouse click. Plus, this software offers a pre-conversion mode so that you can evaluate the final outcome with a 10-seconds converted sample. To further simplify your life, developers have included the option of saving your favourite settings for faster processing in future use.
Overall, I found 1st Multiformat Converter and CD Ripper to be a versatile and indispensable tool suitable for anyone looking to rip audio files and convert them to the preferred format with ease.
