fre:ac FOR LINUX

Remember CDs? As a millennial, I remember having tons of them everywhere - in the house, in the car, in storage. CDs were never romanticized as much as vinyl, well, because they were smaller, less tactile, let's just say, less cool.

However, no one can really deny just how practical and functional CDs were. In fact, I am willing to bet that if you find an old CD somewhere around in the house and you actually manage to find a device that still supports them (good luck with that), it would actually work.

Believe it or not, CDs are still being used today. Yes, we all know that 90% of the music industry has switched to streaming services a long long time ago, but CDs still have their "magic." The music quality is outstanding, the artwork on most official CDs is also nice, the nostalgia factor is definitely a thing worth considering, and they're dirt cheap.

Writing about CD ripper software in 2024 feels so strange, but the software in question is not ordinary. fre:ac is one of the oldest, most loved, most used, and best-supported free audio converter and CD ripper apps out there.

Features of fre:ac FOR LINUX:

There are a lot of good options when it comes to audio file conversion, both in the form of desktop and online apps. fre:ac doesn't only offer both audio conversion and CD ripping capabilities, but it's also very easy to use, and generally a very versatile app that's definitely worth having around.
