Review of V 13.4R reference/pro version for $36, NOT $24.
Extremely powerful audio file manipulation software and CD ripper.
Batch convert function uses ALL CPU cores = extremely fast.
Huge, comprehensive choice of audio codecs.
Modestly priced and amazingly bug free.
I am an audiophile + power user. This is the best.
Using the $36 ver with (free) add-on utility codecs and tools, I converted over 2000 CDs already on my hard drive to FLAC format, and wrote ID tags into each file based on file/folder set up; all in one gigantic, fully automatic batch operation.
Totally flawless.
Installation is a bit clumsy. You need to download, then install each codec separately, but you pick only those you want.
Similarly, the interface require some learning.
The home website has lots of help and a forum.
Once set up and once you understand it, it's better than any other audio conversion software I've seen for any price.
No audio editor. Get Audacity for that.
