Ripping Audio CDs

The Rip Audio CD project allows you to: 

- Save audio tracks from music CDs to the computer: 

- Copy audio tracks in the following formats: 

• Uncompressed (WAV) format (preserving the quality and size of the original media); 

• Compressed (WMA and OGG) format (taking up less space and more convenient for storing large collections on your hard drive); 

Before ripping an Audio Disc, please insert the disc to be ripped in the drive. 

Steps to rip an Audio CD:
