ALO Audio CD Ripper

ALO Audio CD Ripper

Stability problems and so-so performance make ALO Audio CD Ripper a just-adequate choice. In our tests, it turned in decent–but not mind-blowing–ripping speeds. It encodes tracks in WMA, WAV, OGG, or MP3 formats.

It can apply VBR compression when outputting to the latter two formats, and with MP3s it can apply high- or low-pass filters as well. Like any ripper worth its salt, it can query the Internet for track information, though it can’t convert files among formats or burn CDs.

The interface has a slapdash look, and stability was a bit of a problem. On one of our Windows XP systems, choosing any of the options under the Settings button caused the program to report a missing DLL and crash. If you can avoid the bugs, ALO Audio CD Ripper makes a functional, albeit unimpressive, solution for digitizing your CD collection.

ALO Audio CD Ripper helps you convert digital audio tracks directly from compact discs to MP3, WMA, OGG, AMR, AAC, AC3 and WAV files.

ALO Audio CD Ripper is a tool with a pretty self-explanatory title – it lets you rip tracks from an audio CD. But you can also convert them to another extension (e.g. WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG, AMR).

The interface of the program is very plain and easy to navigate through. Upon initialization, a list of all tracks from the CD is automatically displayed.

Otherwise, you can use the file browser to import songs (the “drag and drop” method is not supported). Batch processing is allowed.

In the list you can check out the name, type, IRSC, duration and status of each file. So, once you specify the output profile and directory, you can initiate the conversion process.

In addition, you can configure audio settings for each format which include sample frequency rate, channels, bit rate, encoder quality, coding method, VBR quality, and others.

Furthermore, you can edit ID3 tags (album, artist, genre, year, track number), enable to load CD album information and to read the track ISRC, and others.

The audio conversion process takes up a very low amount of system resources, includes a brief help file with snapshots for novices and quickly finishes an encoding job while preserving a very good sound quality. No errors have occurred during our tests.

On the other hand, ALO Audio CD Ripper automatically crashed whenever we tried accessing the “Settings” area. Also, it doesn’t come with an option to select and deselect all items for processing. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend this application to all users.ALO Audio CD Ripper helps you convert digital audio tracks directly from compact discs to MP3, WMA, OGG, AMR, AC3, AAC and WAV files.
