There are two major problems with free applications to create CD rips - they are not very easy to use, and the tool they provide is a Windows-only application. There are ways around these problems, however. One way is to use a third-party application such as Adobe's Media Composer. However, for those who want to take advantage of great media effects on their CD rips, Microsoft offers an application called Easy CD Ripper.
This software lets you create CD rips with Windows that are identical to the ones you would get from the software in the "real" world. The only difference is that you will not have to worry about the difficulty of using a Windows program, as the software makes it very easy. The great thing about this software is that you can use it with just about any computer - regardless of operating system. You do not need to have an older computer in order to use Easy CD Ripper. It does not matter what type of hardware you have, you can easily get the software. The application allows you to burn your disks with either a Windows or Mac-based computer.
Another feature of Easy CD Ripper is that it allows you to burn a DVD or CD with the use of Microsoft's Front Page file. This means that you can use your CD-RW and burn your disk through the program, instead of ripping it with a PC program. Easy CD Ripper also lets you save and burn albums in various formats.
