• Best Program To Rip MP3s

  micklailMay 3, 2015

  Pros

  Fast. Can rip Karaoke disks. Very easy to use. Great GUI

  Cons

  Absolutely None.

  Summary

  I have been using this program for a great many years and have never had a problem with any kind of virus infections. I don't know what the other reviews are trying to run on their machines, but it is not AudioGrabber. I bought AudioCatalyst many years ago. When the writer of the program got his rights back, he released AudioGrabber as a free program. I downloaded it and began using it and have been putting it on the machines I sell ever since. I am not sure where the claims of viruses are coming from if not from some sort of competing software trying to bad mouth Audiograbber. I have never found any instance of Trojans or any other type of malware when installing AudioGrabber. I use it....my customers use it....I recommend it to everyone I know as the best and easiest program to use to rip songs.

  Could not get past McAfee!

  While loading, McAfee was busy quarantining the Trojans, the installer did manage to blank-out my home page.

• Stable, easy-to-use, quick application

  dd_armstrongOctober 27, 2013

  Pros

  I've used this since it was a paid application, and feel that it is basically 99% of what you'd need to rip, transform and mass edit MP# file information. Very quick, simple and clean. Easy to configure new codecs, etc.

  Cons

  When it became freeware, it ceased evolution, so not the most "modern" of applications anymore, but still it's my go-to ripper of choice.

• Great tool

  victork1November 30, 2012

  Pros

  I've been using it for years, I have ripped about 200 CDs in my collection, I think there was a fail just once. Lots of things to configure, including the possibility to bump the volume of a rip job (ideal when you rip pre-90s CDs). Some other cool features too, like chain ripping if you have tons of CDs. MP3s result in great audio quality, which experts attribute to a better designed ripping tool (when analyzing what to leave out for compression).

  Cons

  Can't rip to FLAC or any lossless, if I'm not mistaken.

• Used to rip to MP3 but now only does .wav

  AspieMumDecember 27, 2011

  Pros

  Easy to use when it works

  Cons

  Even with the settings the same as before now when I rip a disc I get .wav files when it is set up to give me MP3 files. I then have to use a second program to convert them to MP3 and then rename them to get rid of the _converted that program adds in to the name.

  Summary

  This program has been available for a long while with no updates and it used to be brilliant. Nowadays it still is if you want .wav files only but if you want MP3 files it no longer works. May be it should have had an update by now.

• EXCELLENT - WHEN IT WORKS

  wwwgjsnetDecember 12, 2011

  Pros

  Works as well as commercial products. The "Eject when finished" feature is good. Helps speed up extractions without monitoring. The days of needing a thick stack of audio CD discs to handle long audio books is over for anyone using MP3 files. Other formats MAY be technically superior to MP3 in terms of files space vs quality. BUT - and this is a BIG but - MP3 remains a common standard. I am VERY irritated to see "CD players" that do not play MP# discs. Of course, today, with small MP3 players so common, when "wired for sound" alone on long hikes and bike tours, MP3 files on players such as Sansa Clip etc are the only way to go. By the way,- at least for spoken word - 64 BPS Bit Rate (or even lower) extractions result in high quality audio that sounds as good to me as higher bit rates. I confess NOT having a golden ear.

  Cons

  Now and then, when ripping CD audiobooks to MP3 files, Audiograbber stops working mysteriously. Later on, after rebooting PC, it works OK again. To avoid the hassle of restarting PC, when this happens, I usually shift to AlltoMP3 program for extractions.

  Summary

  GREAT FREE PROGRAM. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. SO FAR, SO GOOD
