FlatCdRipper Portable

FlatCdRipper Portable is a software tool that was developed specifically to help individuals rip audio CDs, and convert the contents to various file types.

Advantages of portable apps

This is the portable version of FlatCdRipper, which means that you are not required to go through the installation process. Consequently, it is not going to add items or files to the hard drive or Windows registry without your approval, as installers usually do.
Another advantage that FlatCdRipper Portable brings to the table, is that you can take it everywhere with you and run it on any machine you have been granted access to, by placing the program files to an external data device, such as a pen drive.

Simple interface, supported formats and configurable options

The interface is accessible to all user types and contains several buttons, drop-down menus and a pane to display all detected audio tracks. This software utility enables you to listen to the last mentioned files, with the help of the built-in playback controls and volume bar.
The items can be saved to the hard drive in an MP3, OGG or WAV format, while it is also possible to choose the output directory, adjust bit rate and frequency, as well as establish naming conventions, and manually input information such as title, artist and album name, genre, year, track and comment.
From the settings panel, you can enable CD correction, show or hide hints on mouse hover, change language, eject disc when done, confirm file list before rip starts and automatically scan tracks when a CD is inserted.

Conclusion

To sum up, FlatCdRipper Portable is an efficient piece of software for ripping audio CDs. It has comprehensive Help contents, a user-friendly environment and it does not burden the computer’s performance. However, it could greatly benefit from an update.
