Xilisoft CD Ripper review
A Windows CD ripper with batch conversion, track editing, and a one-time price.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Xilisoft CD Ripper is desktop software for extracting audio tracks from CDs and converting them into digital audio files. It is aimed at Windows users who want to process several tracks together and make basic edits during conversion. The feature set also suits people who want to split tracks or clip segments rather than simply copy a whole CD. It requires a CD/DVD drive, so it is for users with access to that hardware, not for managing a digital library without a disc source.
The published plan is CD Ripper, priced at $29.95 as a one-time purchase. Its listed functions include ripping audio CDs and converting tracks to supported formats. The vendor describes a free download as a trial, but the product page does not state its duration. A 30-day refund period is listed. This pricing structure may suit someone seeking a single desktop purchase for occasional or batch disc conversion; buyers looking for a free plan should consider another option.
Its main distinction is a broader conversion and editing workflow: multiple tracks can be converted at once, and one track can produce files in multiple formats. The description names MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG, and WMA, while category specifications identify FLAC, WAV lossless, and WMA lossless. Track splitting, audio clipping, effects, output-parameter adjustment, and ID3 tag editing provide additional control. Support is listed for Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP (SP2 or later). Choose it if those Windows-based batch and editing features match a CD-ripping task; users on other platforms or without a CD/DVD drive should look elsewhere.
