ripping my 700+ cds with it ;i would say its great (able to connect my external dvd/cd writer) ;so it s useful to rip 2 cds at once ...it finds easily as well the cds artwork on the web ,but not always (i would have appreciated a feature to import "manually" an image/cd artwork from like discogs or anywhere on the web ) otherwise than that i m quite happy .thx
Estimation application downloads and cost
Description
Quite simply the most efficient, easy-to-use, most powerful audio CD ripping and encoding application out there. Heres why:
Simultaneous encoding to 7 formats:
Phile Audio will encode to all of the most popular audio file formats: MP3, MP4-AAC, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Apple Lossless, WAV and AIFF. You can specify one or more encoding formats before ripping, so you only have to rip once. Archive a copy of your CD collection in a lossless format, such as FLAC or Apple Lossless, and encode a smaller, compressed copy for your portable media player. Phile Audio will import iTunes-supported file formats automatically, saving you a manual step if you want to import to iTunes.
Simultaneous ripping from multiple CD/DVD/BD-ROM drives:
Phile Audio will rip from as many drives as you can hook up to your computer, simultaneously. While one disc is ripping, you can be entering the information for another one. This is a huge advantage for your CD archiving workflow, as you dont have to wait as long for discs to finish ripping to move on to the next one.
Multiple options for cover art:
Phile Audio allows you to drag and drop cover art files from a web browser or your computer directly into the application, or, import your images from a digital camera or memory card with the built-in camera device browser. Theres even an interface to use your scanner to scan your cover art directly into your disc information! No other software offers this degree of integration for your cover art!
Retrieve CD information from the FreeDB online database, iTunes, or Music:
Phile Audio automatically identifies and retrieves your discs information from the online FreeDB database. This huge resource is sure to find disc information for most of your CDs. If youve already set up CDs in iTunes / Music, you can use those as your source as well!
More information can be input up-front:
In addition to the extensive options for cover art, Phile Audio allows you to enter individual years per track, composers, groupings, gapless tags, compilation tags, disc numbering (if part of a multiple-disc set), comments and lyrics for supported encoding formats. You dont have to revisit your encoded files from other software to add these tags. You can do it all right before ripping, a huge time-saver!
Customizable file naming:
For those that are not importing into iTunes or to a non-taggable format, keeping file names in a usable format can be a real pain. Phile Audio allows you to customize the exact file name convention based on disc and track information to fit your needs.
Efficient encoding:
Phile Audio detects how many processors are in your computer and runs encoding jobs simultaneously on all multi-core processors. Encoding happens in the background, so your discs can rip as fast as possible without being encumbered by potentially slow encoding times. You can pause encoding if you need the extra processor power for another application. You can even close the application in the middle of encoding a batch of discs, and Phile Audio will remember where you left off. Very handy for users on-the-go!
Real-time status:
When ripping discs, Phile Audio gives you an indication of your drives DAE (Digital Audio Extraction) or "ripping" speed. This serves as a benchmark for your drive. While encoding, the status of all of your encoding jobs are easily seen and understood.
We encourage you to give Phile Audio a run through your CD collection. Youll wonder how you ever did without it, especially if you have multiple fast disc drives!

quite happy with it
Excellent
Vraimet loutil que je cherchais, grande liberté sur lencodage, le nommage des pistes, larborescence. Récupères les données automatiquement, soit sur FreeDB soit via Itunes. Très bon outil.
Les préférences ne fonctionnent pas
Impossible de modifier les préférences et du coup de choisir le format dextraction et le chemin des fichiers. Donc pour linstant cela mérite une pauvre étoile.
ça ripe .. mais où sont passés les morceaux ?
En plus dêtre lent à lextraction je ne trouve pas où sont mes morceaux MP3 je ne sais même pas si il la fait en fait … grrrr !!!!
Stop avant dacheter si vous visez le MP3
sans dire que cest la ruine totale, il est dans les plus cher des convertisseurs MP3… et puis la petites lampe du logo peut inspirer confiance… oui mais voilà. on paye, on charge, on lance, et la, si on veut du MP3, il faut télécharger LAME car ce nest pas inclus dans Phile Audio… et si comme moi votre mac est en option de sécurité un peu élevé… Et bien il ne lancera jamais un progrmme téléchargé dinternet sauf si léditeur est connu, ce qui nest pas le cas de LAME sur le site auquel renvoie Phile Audio. En bref, ce logiciel nest pas autonome, et ça, ce nest pas normal pour un logiciel payant… Qui plus est, je ne vois pas comment le faire marcher en gardant un niveau de paramétrage sécu correct… Alors faites comme moi… chargez en un autre!!!
Simple & efficace
Ce petit utilitaire est parfait pour ripper en Flac les CD, donne le choix entre Freedb et itunes pour lidentification automatique. Quelques options pour affiner le fichier Flac serait peut etre interessantes pour les puristes… utilisé depuis plusieurs versions, régulièrement mis à jour… bref simple et efficace.
Does not recognize empty cd
It does nort work on my mac mini on yosemite. It does not recognize the cd inserted or encode flac files, useless.
