ALO Audio CD Ripper

ALO Audio CD Ripper is a tool with a pretty self-explanatory title - it lets you rip tracks from an audio CD. But you can also convert them to another extension (e.g. WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG, AMR).

The interface of the program is very plain and easy to navigate through. Upon initialization, a list of all tracks from the CD is automatically displayed.

Otherwise, you can use the file browser to import songs (the "drag and drop" method is not supported). Batch processing is allowed.

In the list you can check out the name, type, IRSC, duration and status of each file. Once you specify the output profile and directory, you can initiate the conversion process.

You can configure audio settings for each format which include sample frequency rate, channels, bit rate, encoder quality, coding method, VBR quality, and others.

You can edit ID3 tags (album, artist, genre, year, track number), enable to load CD album information and to read the track ISRC, and others.

The audio conversion process takes up a very low amount of system resources, includes a brief help file with snapshots for novices and quickly finishes an encoding job while preserving a very good sound quality. No errors have occurred during our tests.

On the other hand, ALO Audio CD Ripper automatically crashed whenever we tried accessing the "Settings" area. Also, it doesn't come with an option to select and deselect all items for processing. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend this application to all users.
