FreeRIP is an application that allows you to save audio CD tracks to Wav, MP3, WMA, Ogg Vorbis or FLAC audio files, this process is called Ripping. This program supports retrieving information about song titles, artist names, and the like via the internet. So the resulting Wave or MP3 filename can be customized. Apart from Wave and MP3, it also supports Ogg, WMA, and FLAC formats.
In terms of encoding, this application allows you to make a number of settings according to taste. In MP3, for example, you can choose between Mono, Stereo, Joint Stereo, choose between CBR, VBR, ABR, and of course choose the quality level.
For CBR, FreeRIP provides a choice of bitrates from 16 kbps to 320 kbps. In VBR and ABR, the selectable qualities are ordered in descending order from 9 (worst) to 0 (best).
FreeRIP also supports conversion of one audio format to another. So you can convert the FLAC file from the CD-DA for example, you can convert it to MP3 at a later date without the need to use the relevant CDDA.
Unlike other ripping applications, this software can double-check every bit of data with the source data. The goal is to obtain a high level of accuracy that is close to the original Audio CD. If this application finds a discrepancy, then the application will re-ripping and once again if needed in the data processing process.
Of course this will slow down the ripping process itself. But by looking at the results obtained, this is no longer a problem. Keep in mind, the re-ripping process will only be carried out if there is a difference. It can be caused by a scratched CD/DVD, or copy protection on a Ripped CD.
Once you have a digital audio track in the format of your choice, and want to transfer it to an audio player (eg a portable MP3 player like Apple iPod or Creative Zen), Smartphone or discman. With FreeRIP you can save tracks such as CD quality WAV files or encode them to lossy (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, WMA) or lossless (FLAC) audio formats.
