But we don't love Express Rip for its multitude of features we love it because it's easy to use and does what it's supposed to do, which is a lot more than we can say for many similar programs. There are a few other basic items that can be customized, and that's about it. To be honest, Express Rip doesn't have a ton in the way of features users can adjust the encoder settings if they want, and the program gives users a choice between MusicBrainz and FreeDB for album information. The program quickly ripped the tracks and saved them appropriately. Ripping the CD was as easy and choosing a destination folder and choosing from among 21 output formats. We inserted a CD and the program immediately connected to the MusicBrainz database and grabbed the track names and other album information. The program's interface is attractive and intuitive, with graphical buttons representing its major features.
Express Rip is a refreshingly functional and well-designed piece of software for extracting audio from compact discs and converting them to MP3 files.
