CDex is capable of extracting the data from an audio CD and providing you with a WAV file that can be used to create compilation audio CD's or the audio data can be compressed using an audio encoder. CDex supports numerous encoders.

WAV files on the hard drive can be converted to a Compressed Audio File (and vice-versa). CDex also supports many audio file tag formats like the ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags, which can be automatically inserted as part of the ripping process.
