[edit] Features
CDex is able to convert CD audio into several formats including WAV, MP3 (using the LAME encoder), Ogg Vorbis, VQF, APE, and many others. It supports FLAC[2] and other codecs using an external encoder. For convenience, it supports CD-Text to allow ripped tracks, with reduced user effort, to have the names of songs, artists and albums.
[edit] History
In January 2006, the CDex homepage requested a new project manager and developer, implying that Albert L. Faber has abandoned development of CDex.
CDex development has been restarted by Georgy Berdyshev. On June 5, 2006, CDex 1.70 Beta 1 was released via the SourceForge.net website. It is the first official update to the program in almost three years, with CDex 1.70 Beta 2 following soon after on June 23, 2006.
