Steps to rip older music CDs to MP3/FLAC

Step 1. Load older music CDs

Launch the program on your computer and click “File” to add your older music CDs.

Step 2: Set output format

Here click the format bar to follow “Common Audio” and “FLAC-Free Lossless Audio Codec (*.flac)” or “MP3-MPEG Layer-3 Audio(*.mp3)” on your own need.

Tips: 1. Free Lossless Audio Codec offers better sound quality compared to MP3 compression, but files compressed using the FLAC codec are considerably larger in size. As a general comparison, an audio file with FLAC compression is approximately 10 times larger than when the same file is compressed using MP3 compression. And MP3 is much more compatible than FLAC for audio player.

2. If you are not satisfied with the audio quality or the audio size, just click the "Settings" icon and choose wanted audio settings including sample rate, bitrate and audio channel etc.

Step 3: Start to convert

Back to the main interface and hit "Convert" to start to rip CD to MP3/FLAC. Once the process ends, open the output folder to locate the MP3/FLAC audio.

Now you can freely transfer your music to your devices and enjoy them at anywhere and anytime, and do not have to be afraid of damaging your CDs.

Tips: There are only a few media players that support the FLAC format, like VLC Player, VOX Player and the FLAC Player. While, almost all media players support MP3 format.
