CDex can extract data directly (digital) from an Audio CD, which is generally called a CD Ripper or a CDDA utility. The resulting audio file can be a plain WAV file (useful for making compilation audio CDs) or the ripped audio data can be compressed using an audio encoder. Many encoders are supported.
CDex was originally released as free software under the terms of the GPL. However, as of version 1.70, the source code is no longer available and the installation is bundled with adware like OpenCandy.
