unique characteristics.
Description: A beautiful piece of software that grabs digital audio from cd's. 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 L3enc or Fraunhofer acm codec for automatic
creation of MP3's. This is also the only CD-Ripper that can grab audio through both ASPI
and MSCDEX calls.

stream your compressed files over the internet. Using WAV files you can add life to your
