"Ripping" CD Audio Tracks

SongsToCD has a built-in "ripper" that will allow you to extract audio tracks from CD Audio disks. You can save them as WAV files for the absolute highest quality or at any one of three different MP3 bit rates for compactness.

The Rip Tracks dialog (shown at right) will look in all supported CD-ROM drives and will display the contents of all CD Audio disks it finds.

If you select the "Get titles from the Internet" option, Songs to CD will access the freedb.org database of CD track information to find the titles. You can find out more about this organization at http://www.freedb.org .

Check the box next to all tracks you'd like to rip and then select "Rip Checked". You can rip the tracks to a temporary directory OR you can specify a directory of your choosing. There is also an option to add any tracks that you rip to the current Song List.
