What it does

fre:ac is a free open-source audio converter and CD ripper. It supports common lossless and lossy formats, Unicode metadata, and conversion that retains folder and filename structure.

fre:ac converts libraries while retaining folder and filename structure, with Unicode tags and names across writing systems. CD ripping can query the online CDDB/GNUdb database for track metadata; local-file conversion has a separate network role. Output can be split by duration, file count or metadata. Portable use stores settings on the removable drive, and Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD and Haiku are listed. Choose lossless archival or lossy listening copies for their purpose; lossless encoding cannot restore detail already lost in a source.
