Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.

Cons: None that I can see that I would worry about.
Summary: I like this because the person who wrote this program decided that it should be free...Thank You!

Version: FreeRip 3.091
"Did not meet my requirements."
Pros: At least it uninstalls quickly.
Cons: Didn't do what I wanted it to.
Summary: Looks like a nice clean piece of software but m4a conversion is not supported, so it's of no use to me.
