GregamaticAugust 30, 2016
Pros
Quick Install Decent Interface Good options STUNNINGLY fast ripping!
Cons
For my PC I had to deselect "Maximum speed" from the rip process or it just hung
Summary
Best free ripper I've found.
It was great, and then it crashed every time...hmmm
ZsaZsaSSAugust 15, 2015
Pros
loved it! It was fast, and it was real easy to direct music to a folder, and then audiobooks to another folder
Cons
Just started crashing lately
Summary
going to reinstall since I loved it and see if that stops the problem<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Aug 16, 2015<p/>Well, it's doing good on a different computer, so it could be my drive or that win10 that I'm hestitant to fully install, or something else... But it's slower than usual I still love it and do not like to use any other program I've found and tried..<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Nov 11, 2016<p/>Tried reinstalling and it's back to being great, but I am not allowed to change my initial review. I want to go back and give it more stars. I can send music to where I want it and books to a completely other folder... my old program would name stuff whatever it felt like and I could never find it..alll my musicals were under soundtrack and it took me forever to find them. I like being in control again.
Good ripper but doesn't add the song names for me!

Pros
easy to use non cluttered layout free - thank you :)
Cons
Doesn't find the song names no matter how many times I refresh and yes I am connected to the net or make a new folder automatically :(
Summary
Easy and Quick

Pros
Stick a CD in and (if you have the Internet) your titles get automatically updated. Press the "extract" button and away it goes. You have the option of different output formats (MP3, Wav, ADA, etc.) and you can select your destination directory.
Cons
I couldn't find anything wrong with it; hence the 5-star rating.
Summary
With all the built-in features which also includes a player, you can not pick a better extractor. And don't forget: it is free (there is an option to donate towards it's development).
Does it work? I have no idea.
R0b0td0gJuly 17, 2011
Pros
Unknown. I'd have to be able to use it in order to find out.
Cons
I put in a CD, open the program, and got an error message that it couldn't find any CD/DVD device. Can't find any option or setting to choose/locate a disc drive to use. ZERO tech support, so I can't even troubleshoot.
Summary
Either completely broken or just an advert for a paid program that's mislabeled as being a program in itself. It looks like it would be simple & easy to use, if only I could get that far. There are lots of settings for OUTPUT (quality, naming, location, features of the file it makes), but virtually nothing for INPUT (the cd & drive it gets the song from). It's probably a very simple matter with just some small setting I have to adjust once, but there's no telling what that setting is. The program has no real tech support, the Help menu has a FAQ with *only one* question in it ("Is this program Free? Yes, it's freeware and doesn't have any adware."), and a link to the website, which doesn't say much more. Absolutely no info on troubleshooting problems. The initial error message suggests a link where I can download ASPI drivers (whatever that is), but they aren't listed as being Win Vista/7 compatible. The only other option is an e'mail address for the program's maker. Honestly I think this program is kind of a scam; like a demo or preview intended to convince people to buy the premium version, except this free version doesn't actually do anything. At all.
Wasn't easy to set up

Pros
Looks funtional
Cons
Difficulty in finding source data to rip.
Summary
To be determined.
Amazing Software!
guardianhostingNovember 21, 2010
Pros
Superfast install w/no crapware. Opened the software, put in the CD which it automatically loaded. I clicked the format I wanted (MP3), the download folder, & 5 mins later a 20 track CD was converted with no audio loss. Best out there by far!
Cons
None. Super Easy, Super Fast and no CRAPWARE!
Summary
I only give a review on very bad software or very good. This is not only a very good software but excellent in every way. Highly recommended to all and not often I say that!
Easy to Use and Reliable
rtmusNovember 9, 2010
Pros
I have put 40 to 50 CDs through v1.33 and it has performed very well. Access to CD and track title database works well with features allowing the user to change genre and other labeling options for your particular library filing preferences.
Cons
One minor thing about initial track reading may require an extra "click" on the radio button to persuade the program to read the next CD inserted, thus clearing the previous Cd's track list. Once this is done, no problems.
Summary
I'm looking to complete my entire CD collection with this software. I particularly like the labeling features and the program is not overwhelming for the average user. I can also listen to music I just transferred using my favorite AIMP player and surf while both of these are running on my somewhat mediocre 2.0Ghz PC without any hangs or slowdowns.
Does what it says on the tin!
