Click here to extract selected tracks


You can write the output folder name to “Output folder”-field or click “Browse”-button to browse for a folder. If folder does not exist it will be created. Make sure that there is no O/S reserved characters in the folder name, they will cause file creation error.


You can write output filename to “Output filename(s)”-field. Note that if you are extracting more than one tracks at a time, you should use %i or %n symbols in the filename. Symbol %i will be automatically converted to physical track number and %n will be converted to track name. You can also use backslashes (\) in filename in which case folders are created. %a and %t symbols are also defined; Artist and Album name.

See the documentation for examples.


On-the-fly mode means that audio data is converted to destination format as it comes out from CD. Normalization is not available in the on-the-fly mode because it’s not possible to perform it on-the-fly.


Currently affects only Windows Audio Compression Manager (ACM), produces slightly better quality audio but is much more slower than normal mode if you are using some complex audio compression technique like MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3)


ID3 Tag is a header that is included in MP3 files. Containing information such as Artist, Album and Track name etc. Many MP3 software can use this information. Easy CD-DA Extractor 3 conforms to ID3 Tag Version 2.3.0 (ID3V2).


Increases/Decreases the processor time given to the extraction/filtering/conversion/compression routine.


Balances the loudness of the tracks. Useful when recording from a variety of different CDs that may have been recorded at different loudness levels.


Some drives cannot do clean digital audio extraction, meaning that there might be one or few bytes wrong between two transfer region. It can be heared as a short click sound. This filter will kill such clicks.


Simply specifies how many sectors should be read at a time. You can change this value and see if it affects the performance of extraction process.


Specifies how many times extractor tries to read a sector if read error occurs.


Some drives cannot position the laser exactly to the requested position. The data returned does not belong exactly to the requested position. This is heared as click and pop sounds in the extracted audio. You can kill those extra sounds by using Sector Synchronization which performs overlapped reads and reconstructs the full sectors. First, try to use two-sector sync. and test if the sound is good, if you still hear those extra noises try three-sector sync. and so on. Not many drives require Sector Synchronization now-a-days (only older ones). Sector Synchronization is always (much more) slower than normal mode.


If read error occurs on some sector it's automatically skipped.


Some CD drives don't correctly extract digital audio if the pregap of the first track isn't exactly two seconds. A bug in the firmware causes the drive to start extracting slightly past the start of the track, and stop extracting slightly past the end. This can result in an audible glitch if the music starts at the exact start of the track, and can cause the drive to fail with an error when extracting the last track on the CD.


Some drives return incorrectly the left and right channel, you can swap them back to good with this option on.


If you are getting 'Buffer Overflow' errors all the time, you can disable the buffer overflow checking and extracts tracks without it.


Some drives return the digital audio data in the low-endian byte order, the sound is only static use this option to correct it.
