Editor's review of FreeRip MP3

- "FreeRip's not dead"
- Version reviewed: FreeRip MP3 3.1
Like a finely tuned laser, FreeRip 3 does one task: extract songs from your CDs. Fortunately, the app accomplishes its goals accurately, if not with flair, and makes for an easy-to-use audio-track ripper.
The latest version of the program features some long overdue enhancements. Chief among them is the inclusion of the WMA format, and it's hard to believe it wasn't included before. FreeRip also supports WAV, MP3, Vorbis, and FLAC. Other features include multitrack ripping and an option to use the program as an audio-file converter. The options menu is extensive and will appeal to any advanced user, since it makes most manners of customization a cinch.
The interface is well done, with big icons and a friendly main window split into two sections. The left pane lists the tracks, and the right gives you specific info on each song and has a tab to switch to CD-wide info. The toolbar has icons for all the major functions of the app as well as links to the publisher's community pages. In the end, FreeRip doesn't do anything its competitors don't, but it functions well, is uncomplicated and quick, and has no price tag.

Version: FreeRip MP3 3.1
"Registration link does not work"
Pros: If I could use this program I could tell you what the cons are.
Cons: I bought this program & followed all the instructions. When I received my registration code and went to register the link does not work. I tried several times and nothing. Then when I searched the internet warnings that the site was not safe???????
Summary: If I can get a response to my inquiry from the FreeRip owner I may change my review. Right now I am complete frustrated!!!

Version: FreeRip MP3 3.1
"Good value versus cost (free) ."
Pros: Wide range of selectable bit rates, codecs and relatively easy to use..
Cons: Appears to have limited customization of output file naming.
Summary: It has good automatic look up of music album and track names, a good choice of music codecs, and not constrained like itunes and windows media player when ripping.

-
Version: FreeRip MP3 3.1
Pros: It does what I want, when I want. I usually start it and then go about my business with other stuff on the pc.
Cons: Rather slow - but, I run it in the background while I do other things so that's not really a problem.

Version: FreeRip MP3 3.1
"Worth trying but it needs a little tunning"
Pros: It's quite fast ripping and converting CD into mp3 in one single step.
It found accurately CD info and added info to mp3 tags.Cons: It needs more customization about output files naming
Summary: The fact of being freeware doesn't necessary means it should lack some customization options.
