CD Ripper rips as fast your drive is able. Secure Ripping (Error Free) is our forte: dBpoweramp is regarded as the securest of the secure, not surprising from the inventors of AccurateRip.

Editor's review of dBpoweramp Music Converter

• 4.0 stars

• "Problem-free conversion"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: dBpoweramp Music Converter 13.2

This mostly standard audio utility simply converts files and rips CDs, but it works without a hitch. dBpoweramp Music Converter has separate interfaces for extracting audio from discs and batch converting tunes. In our tests, the program showed good speed. It can even rip some protected audio CDs and includes a basic player.

It queries CD information from the Web and can automatically create subfolders and name tracks. To keep the download size small, it only includes MP3 (LAME) and WAV codecs, though you can easily download and install additional components from the publisher's site. Similar to other utilities in this genre, dBpowerAmp Music Converter lets you determine the audio quality of your new files, though it also offers an ample number of presets.

Also, unlike some competing programs, this demo will let you rip or transform as many files as you like for a full month. Most people who rip and convert audio files occasionally will find something to like about dBpowerAmp Music Converter, particularly novices.

  "Best Meta-Data, Secure Rips, and FAST"

  by gnutellafan on May 16, 2009

  Pros: uses 4 meta-data providers to get the best tags for your music, uses accuraterip and secure algorithms, and is the fastest secure ripper! It the best CD ripper available!

  Cons: no significant problems. This is a very polished program.

  Summary: My favorite feature is PerfectMeta. dBpoweramp gets meta-data (song titles and album info) from 4 different data bases, compares the information and corrects it to come up with better meta-data then available from any 1 provider.
