You can't call yourself an avid computer user if you haven't heard of Audiograbber.
This tool is an audio ripping software solution that can get content from audio CDs and place them on your computer in various formats, including both WAV and MP3, while preserving the quality of the original file.
Audiograbber installs and runs in a minute, but it's the thing which comes next that's more important.
The interface is very clean and easy to use, but you may have to check the adjacent documentation to get some information on a given feature in case you're a beginner.
It can automatically read all the data from audio CDs and grab them with minimal configuration, but you may need to play a little bit with its settings to improve the result.
Besides the ripping part, Audiograbber does an impressive job when it comes to removing the silence sequences from the beginning and the end of each song, thus saving space and time.
Additionally, it can also look up on the Internet for disc information, so keep in mind that an Internet connection could help you a lot when using Audiograbber.
Probably the only thing we'd like to be improved is the speed, as Audiograbber sometimes proves to be very slow. Of course, this also depends on the CD quality and the computer hardware, but the general conclusion is that the application needs to be faster in several key areas.
It remains very light on computer resources all the time, but it's better to avoid doing something else when ripping a CD, just to be sure you won't slow down the process.
So all in all, Audiograbber remains one of the top picks here on Softpedia, and its freeware license makes it a must try for many users out there.
