Looking for an all encompassing application to handle your audio files and
not willing to spend a penny? Then you should try working with Max. This open
source program allows you to rip music from CDs and convert the music to any
of 20 different formats. You should also normally find the right codec for
the format you're looking for. The multi windowed interface is a bit of a
turnoff to me and a little contrary to what you usually see in applications
these days but in a way it separates all the elements of Max clearly. Max is
easy to use and performs all operations very well. The quality of files after
conversion is generally very good. The ripper works through tracks quickly
and you can use cdparanoia to recover damaged audio files. The main draw back
to the program would be the fairly complicated tagging system. Max works with
MusicBrainz to recover track information from the internet, but you won't
necessary find all your looking for. *If you're looking for a complete audio
solution to rip cds and convert the tracks to another format, then Max is an
excellent free solution.*Download *Max 0.9.1* in Softonic
