Apen FLAC Ripper

Apen FLAC Ripper is an app that allows you to easily convert audio tracks from the FLAC format to the MP3 extension.

The interface of the program is plain and simple to work with. You can import items into the list by using the file browser, since the "drag and drop" functionality is not included.

It is possible to split tracks manually by marking the start and end time values, besides writing the section title and performer. But you can also cut tracks by using a CUE sheet. In the file queue you can check out the track number, title, length and performer of each item.

Once the output destination has been established, you can proceed with the conversion task by using the default settings.

But, if you are an experienced user, then you are probably interested in configuring audio settings when it comes to the quality, bit rate, variable bit rate and channel mode. In the "Options" area you can also specify the default output directory.

The audio encoding program has a good response time and quickly finishes a task while using a low-to-moderate amount of CPU and system memory. No error dialogs have been displayed during our tests and Apen FLAC Ripper did not freeze or crash. There's also a help file that you can check out. Unfortunately, you cannot preview tracks in a built-in audio player or set Apen FLAC Ripper to open the output directory after encoding. The tool has not received any recent updates.
