Audiograbber is a freeware CD audio extractor/converter for Microsoft Windows written by Jackie Franck. It was one of the first programs in the genre to become widely 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. For convenience, it supports freedb to allow ripped tracks, with reduced user effort, to have the names of songs, artists and albums.

It copies the audio digitally-not through the soundcard-which enables you to make perfect copies of the originals. It can even perform a test to see that the copies really are perfect. Audiograbber can also automatically normalize the music, delete silence from the start and/or end of tracks, and send them to a variety or external MP3 encoders, such as Fraunhofers L3enc, or even use some MP3/WMA encoders internally for automatic creation of MP3's.

Audiograbber can download and upload disc info from freedb, an Internet compact disc database. You can even record your vinyl LP's or cassette tapes with Audiograbber and make wav's or MP3's of them.

Audiograbber does not put a single file in your windows directories! No DLL's, OCX's, device drivers, spyware, adware or whatever else that messes up the computer. Not a single entry in the registry or win.ini. If you delete the Audiograbber directory it's all gone, that's it!

Audiograbber used to be shareware but is from February 9, 2004 released as freeware!
