winLAME , v2020 release 1
All .dll are considered dangerous by Norton and are deleted

webfork on 2020-12-28 16:39

@kinki: as noted in the, please post about possible malware issues to the forums. I would also check the download with VirusTotal first. As winLAME is open source and has been in development for 4+ yrs, it's probably a false positive.

CUETools v2.2.5 Updated

Andrew Lee on 1 Jan 2024
  • 9MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 23 Dec 2023
  • Suggested by freakazoid

CUETools helps ensure an album image is preserved accurately by managing lossless audio and CUE sheet format conversion. Since many applications don't keep track of preserving gaps and CUE sheet contents during conversion, or don't support all possible CUE sheet styles, CUETools preserves both with no loss in quality.

CUETools includes CUERipper, an extremely powerful yet easy-to-use CD ripping program, with features like lossless and lossy encoding options, EAC style logs, automatic metadata look-up and AccurateRip verification.

Category:
Runs on:WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8 / Win10 / Win11 / Wine

Dependencies: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7, MSVCR90.DLL, MSVCP90.DLL

Unicode support: Yes

it's not stealth
the last stable version saves files inside AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\CLR Security Config\v2.0.50727.312\64bit\

Specular on 2016-02-13 03:09

The included CUERipper program is utterly superb and should be mentioned in the description I strongly think since it doesn't have enough attention and currently doesn't show up in results (I'll fix that in a sec).

It has an easy to use yet poweruser-friendly interface, produces EAC logs with AccurateRip information, offers Burst/Secure/Paranoid ripping modes (with Burst correctly set by default), allows for image or track rips, verify options and moe.

And one of the main features which solidified my switch: both it and the main CUETools offer a metadata search UI that displays the extended tag info such as Publisher, Barcode, etc. The only ripper I've tried which displays and tags this.

brickablesmile: presence of adware confirmed (and entry edited), but every source I've read indicates that the user is prompted. Please post in forums if that's changed.

It's possible to extract the installer, entry updated.

Glad to see Audiograbber is still around, as it was the first trustworthy CD ripper I ever used, back in the 90's... :)

It was only deprecated when I discovered bit accurate Exact Audio Copy (not portable, but there are portabilized versions floating around the Web).
