Reviewed by: CNET Staff
For ripping audio CDs, burning CDs and DVDs, and converting tracks, Easy CD-DA Extractor excels. Besides rolling in support for Apple Lossless, the latest update focuses on back-end changes that should improve the audio quality and make the program faster.
A well-organized interface displays all of the major features and settings. Four tabs across the top access the Audio CD Ripper, the Audio File Format Converter, Audio CD Creator, and MP3/WMA CD Creator. Ripping CDs is simple: Insert a disc and the Audio CD Ripper window displays info such as artist, track list, year, track length, and album length. The destination folder, the quality and format of output tracks, and even the filename format are all easily edited.
MP3 settings include the ability to choose constant, average, or variable bit rates. The Audio File Format Converter window features a drag-and-drop file selection topped by a conversion-format window. The program supports a large list of lossy and lossless formats including MP3, OGG, WMA, APE, FLAC, AAC, and 3GP. The Audio CD Creator window lets you drop files into that screen, choose the recording speed, and toggle the test feature. The MP3/WMA CD Creator window works similarly and adds much-needed support for data discs.
Easy CD-DA Extractor is easy to learn, quick to use, and loaded with features. It stands tall among the teeming mass of CD-ripping/music-conversion apps.

Version: Easy CD-DA Extractor 12.0.8
Pros: The disk you are copying is displayed very quickly. It is very easy to select the items you wish to duplicate and creates a new disk with a decent wait time.
Cons: I found that the program will not read the titles it transferred to a disk it created. This is inconvient.
Summary: I liked the program well enough to purchase it in spite of the one negative feature that I found.

Version: Easy CD-DA Extractor 12.0.8
Pros: To me, this is the best all-in-one music handling software. It does just about everything you need, and does it pretty well. I like it because I only need to have one program .
Cons: None that I've encountered despite using it for two years.
Summary: I'm no pro software reviewer. I just know what I like and what works for me. This software is my choice because it does just that.
