One of the best CD Ripper & MP3 encoding/decoding utilities has just been updated. CDex is a freeware application, which is able to extract audio tracks from a CD-ROM digitally, and save those files to disk as either regular WAV file or MP3 files. CDex reads the digital audio data directly from the disc, which can be stored in either a WAV file or a MPEG (MP2 or MP3) sound file. Homepage and download
