CNET Editors' review
For ripping audio CDs, burning CDs and DVDs, and converting tracks, Easy CD-DA Extractor excels. The latest update to version 11 adds some notable new features, such as the ability to manage all of the metadata for songs or albums, including downloadable album covers. Also quite valuable is the new DVD-burning functionality, an excellent tool for backing up large digital-music collections.
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.

"Tops all the others"
Version: Easy CD-DA Extractor 11.5.3
Pros
Just about everything you need to work with music files. Versatile, simple and easy to use..
Cons
Haven't found any as yet, but I keep using it hoping I won't find any..
Summary
I'm no computer guru-just a "joe the plumber" user, but I've recorded nearly 10,000 music files, so I needed easy-to-use, inexpensive software to convert and make CDs for myself. Easy CD-DA Extractor is just the ticke! I use it extensively with my music files. It converts, rips, and burns just about any, if not all, file format(s) you can think of. It's great to have all that versatility in one program. So far, I haven't found another program that is sophisticated in its capabilities, yet easy for me to utilize. It's worth looking at if you are into personal music CD, DVD, or data disk creation. It really can do it all.
