You can download it and try It free for 30 days. It's full media software that plays audio and video files. IMO it's nicer looking and slightly easier to navigate. So, for playback I use Nightingale instead. I use another 1TB drive as a mirror/backup. Using EAC and FLAC I've ripped all my CDs (1500+) to a 1TB HDD. It will also rip to WMA, MP3 or just about any file type you specify. I use EAC to rip any and all my CDs to my music server. IMO it's an order of magnitude better than Windows Media Player.

You have nothing to lose by giving it a try. It will reread a CD multiple times to ensure "bit-perfect" copies. EAC (Exact Audio Copy) is widely considered to be one of the best "ripping" applications available.
