Introduction
CDex is entirely open source, as per the GPL Terms. It can extract the 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:
Features

Getting Involved
In order to boost the development of CDex, Albert L. Faber is looking for developers who are willing to help improve the CDex open source project (like improving the ripping library, make it run on Linux or Mac OS/X etc). If you are interested, please send him an e-mail with a short description with your skills and what you would like to work on, including small contributions, etc.
