fre:ac

fre:ac is an audio converter and CD-ripping application with a graphical interface. It is useful for moving collections between supported formats and preparing listening copies from existing material. Batch handling reduces repetitive work when many files need the same output settings. Keep original masters separately and choose encoding settings appropriate to the intended archive, transfer or playback use.

Check the selected input, output and monitoring path before beginning important work. A short test file can reveal routing or format problems that are not obvious from a meter alone.
