When it comes to audio CDs, the quality of the music may be good, but the disk itself is fragile and a single scratch may render it useless. Music in MP3 or other formats is much easier to organize and back up. You can not copy the contents of an audio CD to your hard drive, but you can use software to convert the music to a more flexible format. Handy CD Ripper makes this task very easy and fast. All you have to do is load a CD, click a button and in a few minutes, your music will be stored in a folder and format of your choosing.

The application is supported by various Windows formats, from the older Win 98 to the newer Win Vista or even Win 7. If you have installed software before, you would notice that Handy CD Ripper's setup process does not present any challenges.

If you insert an audio CD, the application will detect it immediately, without needing to refresh or restart it. It will display the CD's audio tracks on its interface and you can start ripping by clicking an option on the toolbar. The process is fast and it will start right away, without prompting you for anything. The software is capable of converting audio tracks to MP3, OGG, WAV, VMA or AAC format and it can also create .cue, .bin, or iso images.

The output path can be selected with the aid of a toolbar button or from the software's general settings panel, where you may also select a destination folder. The software lets you access a free database to associate tag information with your tracks. Just hit a button on the toolbar, and Handy CD Ripper will scan for the information. After a swift scan, you only need to click an Apply button and the loaded tracks will be renamed, according to the found information.

Handy CD Ripper features a built-in media player as well. You can listen to any track in the list by selecting it and using the playback options, on the lower edge of the interface.

Pros

Audio tracks are ripped fast and they can be converted to various formats. The software makes it possible to find information about a loaded CD and associate it with the audio tracks. The interface's design makes it easy and comfortable to work with this program.

Cons

The trial version will prompt you to buy the product each time you rip a CD. If you want to back up your favorite audio CDs, you can do it without any effort, thanks to Handy CD Ripper's straightforward functions and user friendly interface.
