Today I will introduce you my favourite Cd Ripper.
 WinDuckŪ is a very simple CD Ripper (very small, only 800 kb); arisen to create excellent quality Mp3 in a simple and fast way exploiting library Lame_Enc.dll. Naturally WinDuck support: - ID3 Tag v1 & v2 - Freedb.org for to receive and send the data of ours Audio Cd - automatic create folder and file names Main advantages: - not require ASPI Manager - not require installation (enought unzip WinDuck.exe & WinDuck.exe.manifest in a folder) - very easy to be used - full support Lame Encoder (vbrMode, Preset, etc.) - it will be enough to replace the new version of the Lame Encoder to have an always up-to-date program ...and obviously free!  Enjoy! This is the link to download it

foobar2000, and eac have secure ripping and are also free. and foobar2000, as a cd ripper, is VERY easy to use as well.

StrictISO and NoBitReservoir have not seen in other CD Ripper
  WinDuck is simply the best Please, no comparison with EAC, AudioGrabber, CDex, etc.

So you don't want your program to be compared to either EAC or CDex or even foobar's secure ripper, but claim that your program is the best? Isn't that like saying my program is best if you don't compare it with programs that could be/are better than it? |

I myself am also using some similar software, small and easy to use, sufficient for a rip now and then but not the best choice for mass backups or if highest data integrity is required. |

Thomas has understood the "concept" WinDuck support only Mp3 and Wave but better than others CD Ripper

I guess there's always foobar.

A true programmer has not used INI files for at least six years

 OK, maybe I was being a bit nineties. I apologise if I offended your programming sensibilities.How about you make a leap of faith and think of "INI" as "a file-based config file"? XML, text, binary, anything you like - just something that I can put on a USB pen. -------------------- I'm on a horse.

Yeah, I'm just kinda thinking that the main benefit that WinDuck has is that it does not need to be installed, and is quite small in size. People aren't going to replace EAC, foobar or even CDEx with WinDuck, but maybe it could be useful to keep a small, simple ripper on a USB pen - but that means the settings as well. I like it when apps don't install and/or mess with the registry; INI/config files are ace.I would always prefer a local INI over the windows registry. I don't really get the chance to use it now, but I have mentioned before that I find it quite interesting that Microsoft reverted to the app.config file and XML settings files with .NET. -------------------- I'm on a horse.

An INI file is more visible and the user could modify the present values in a not very appropriate way ... The Registry is more secure... If you really want can you export the settings to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oviri Systems\WinDuck key and save everything in a *.reg file, not?

EAC uses .cfg files to save it's settings anyway.
One of the Lame devs once gave an exmaple of what a Lame GUI should look like & it didn't look like that. This post has been edited by westgroveg: Apr 10 2007, 05:36 |

Downloaded it, ran it, and was impressed that I didn't have to install anything and it fit on my USB drive. Then again, I also had the non-install version of EAC on there as well. Still, I thought it was a very nice introductory program for people who are really on the go and don't have the time/space to install CD rippers and get them properly configured. I could have used this back "in the year 2000" when I had a 32MB thumb drive that was $120 and I used three different computers for my audio purposes. Now I am a bit more grounded and use one.
A nice little program though, I hope to see some semi-secure ripping updates in the future to compete with some other popular rippers. |
