Audiograbber is a proprietary freeware CD audio extractor/converter for Microsoft Windows. It was one of the first programs in the genre to become popular.
Audiograbber is able to convert CD audio into several formats including WAV, MP3 (using the LAME encoder), Ogg Vorbis, WMA, as well as any format supported by an external command-line encoder. It performs the conversions entirely digitally, bypassing the system sound-card, enabling accurate digital conversion. For convenience, it supports freedb to allow ripped tracks, with reduced user effort, to have the names of songs, artists and albums. It also supports normalizing, ID3 tag and CD-Text support. An line-in sampling function can automatically split LP recordings into separate tracks, plus it can perform noise reduction with a proprietary VST plug-in from Algorithmix[1]
Prior to the release of version 1.83 in February 2004, Audiograbber was shareware. The unregistered versions of the software allowed only half the tracks of a given CD to be extracted in each ripping session. The tracks were chosen at random by the software.
Audiograbber was written by Jackie Franck, who is no longer developing the software. As of January 2009, the source code has not been released.[2]
