Features [link]
CDex is able to convert CD audio into several formats including WAV, Vorbis, MP3 (using the LAME encoder), VQF, Musepack, APE, and many others. As of version 1.70b2 FLAC encoding is native, but for version 1.51 FLAC[2] and other codecs can be used by 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. It also includes cdparanoia for robust CD reading.
History [link]
In January 2006, the CDex homepage requested a new project manager and developer, implying that Albert L. Faber has abandoned development of CDex. On 2006-06-05, 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 2006-06-23. On 11/18/2009 CDex 1.70 Beta 4 was released [3]. Since then there has been no new release, but the 1.7X versions can still be downloaded.
On June 30, 2007, just one day after the release of the GPLv3, the license of CDex was updated.
