CD to MP3 Converter

About This Tool

The tool digitizes physical CD media by ripping and encoding tracks to MP3. It targets music collectors, podcasters, archivists, and educators who need portable, widely compatible audio files. Users provide a CD or an audio source, and the tool outputs MP3 files with metadata where available. It addresses the need for reliable conversion, batch processing, and predictable file naming across large libraries.

The workflow combines ripping, encoding, and tagging. Required features include source input, MP3 encoding at a chosen bitrate, and per-track metadata handling. Optional features include batch queues, CD-text lookup, and configurable output naming. Core differentiators are high fidelity encoding at the selected bitrate, robust metadata preservation, and an export path optimized for library workflows.

Inputs include: source_type (cd|file), source_media (CD drive or file path), bitrate (128/192/256/320 kbps), sample_rate (44.1kHz default), id3_version (2.3/2.4), output_format (mp3), destination (path). Outputs include one MP3 per track, duration, track order, bitrate; a manifest with track-level metadata; optional extracted album/artist data.

Ripping uses sector-accurate extraction; encoding uses MP3 encoder with the chosen bitrate and sample rate; ID3 tagging applies by standard versions; batch order follows queue; missing data triggers default placeholders.
