Rip Audio CD

Mezzmo can rip your audio CDs and save the audio tracks from the audio CD onto your computer as high quality MP3 or WAV files. These MP3 or WAV files will be added directly into your Mezzmo library. You have full control over what tracks are ripped and the quality of the created MP3 or WAV files.

Choose a drive containing your audio CD. If you have not done so already, insert your audio CD into the drive.

By default, when you insert an audio CD, Mezzmo will automatically contact CDDB music servers and album artwork servers.

By clicking this button, Mezzmo will contact CDDB music servers and album artwork servers on the internet to try and get more information about the audio CD. If an album match is found , the CDDB music server will return all the track titles, the artist name, the album name and the year released. The album artwork server will return an image of the album cover.

By clicking this button, you can get matching album artwork for CD that you are ripping. Mezzmo will try to get the album artwork from popular artwork web sites on the internet. This artwork will be inserted into each MP3 file that you rip into your Mezzmo library.

Enter the artist's name. This information will be stored into the MP3 files and will be used to organize the files when added into your Mezzmo library.

Enter the album name. This information will be stored into the MP3 files and will be used to organize the files when added into your Mezzmo library.

Enter the genre of the music, such as Rock, Pop, Dance, Alternative, Country, etc. This information will be stored into the MP3 files and will be used to organize the files when added into your Mezzmo library.

Enter the year the album was released. This information will be stored into the MP3 files and will be used to organize the files when added into your Mezzmo library.
