Rippers & Encoders Software

Rippers & Encoders are tools that copy audio from CDs to your computer and convert music between formats such as MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV and OGG. They are useful for building a digital music library, making files play on a specific device, or shrinking large files to save space.

For the best results, rip CDs to a lossless format such as FLAC if you want to keep full quality, and convert from that copy to MP3 or AAC when you need smaller files. Converting one lossy format to another, for example MP3 to AAC, always loses some quality.
