CDA Converter Plus

CDA Converter Plus is a lightweight Windows application that helps you rip CDA tracks and export them to WAV, WMA, ACM, or MP3 file format.

Clean looks

The tool reveals the content of audio CDs directly into the main window, offering information about the filename, duration, size, creation date, and format. The built-in audio player allows you to start, stop or pause the current selection.

Ripping capabilities

CDA Converter Plus lets you set up the ripping job by selecting the audio output format, choosing the saving directory and overwriting existing files, as well as setting up file renaming rules.
In addition, you can manually adjust each audio format using the built-in parameters. For example, you can change the bitrate, quality, and sample rate of MP3 files and modify the bitrate and channels of WAV items.
What’s more, you can make the application trigger several events when the ripping task comes to an end. It is able to play sound notifications, open the destination folder, turn off the computer, execute an external program, as well as eject the CD.
At the end of the ripping process you can view details about the number of processed files and time needed for completing the task. The log panel provides information about all actions and possible errors.

Extra tools

CDA Converter Plus automatically queries information about your songs from FreeDB and renames the files based on the detected information. Other additional utilities allow you to join audio files, analyze tracks, cut files, duplicate the content of the current audio CD to another one, as well as take notes.
Several configuration settings help you pick the default filename format and audio format, play custom audio files (MP3, WAV) upon notifications, copy ID3 tags from the source file (e.g. artist, song, genre, album, year), and run the utility at Windows startup.

Bottom line

All things considered, CDA Converter Plus integrates several handy features for managing tracks from audio CDs. Although the tool looks intuitive at a first glance, you should know that not all of its features are easy to work with, especially if you are a rookie.
