This CD ripper does what it's supposed to, but we must voice a number of concerns. The first is with the application's less-than-desirable interface, which lacks visual appeal and displays a status window at the bottom of the main window that adds needless clutter. The application can encode tracks to WAV, WMA, MP3, and OGG formats. We're glad the program supports VBR compression and a couple of filters, but the tool for grabbing track information from the Web isn't 100 percent reliable. In several tests, it retrieved the wrong album and song names, even when we tried using different servers. And though Power Audio CD Grabber did succesfully do its job, it goes about its business rather slowly. When you consider all that--plus the fact the demo only encodes five songs per disc--we think you'll agree this program is an average choice at best.

Pros
I wanted to transfer my "33's" and "45's" to digital so I can listen to them on my mp3 player and computer, etc... For a freeware program, this is great. It does exactly want I needed. I got an RCA-to-3.5mm cable to hook up my turntable to my computer (probably would be better quality if I connected through a amp or receiver, like they reccomend) but still got the job done. The GUI is easy to use and worked well. The only problem I had, and it's not the s/w, is with the each record's track split sensitivty. The various albums I was ripping, had different volumes and I would have to adjust the sensitivity to accomodate the songs. But the s/w had an easy gauge to adjust the sensitivity and you just have to work with your various albums. Over all, great product.
