You can pause encoding if you need the extra processor power for another application. Encoding happens in the background, so your discs can rip as fast as possible without being encumbered by potentially slow encoding times.

Phile Audio detects how many processors are in your computer and runs encoding jobs simultaneously on all multi-core processors.

Phile Audio allows you to customize the exact file name convention based on disc and track information to fit your needs. You can do it all right before ripping, a huge time-saver!įor those that are not importing into iTunes or to a non-taggable format, keeping file names in a usable format can be a real pain. You don't have to revisit your encoded files from other software to add these tags. In addition to the extensive options for cover art, Phile Audio allows you to enter individual years per track, composers, groupings, gapless tags, compilation tags, disc numbering (if part of a multiple-disc set), comments and lyrics for supported encoding formats. If you've already set up CDs in iTunes / Music, you can use those as your source as well! This huge resource is sure to find disc information for most of your CDs. Phile Audio automatically identifies and retrieves your discs information from the online FreeDB database. Retrieve CD information from the FreeDB online database, iTunes, or Music: There's even an interface to use your scanner to scan your cover art directly into your disc information! No other software offers this degree of integration for your cover art! Phile Audio allows you to drag and drop cover art files from a web browser or your computer directly into the application, or, import your images from a digital camera or memory card with the built-in camera device browser. This is a huge advantage for your CD archiving workflow, as you don't have to wait as long for discs to finish ripping to move on to the next one. While one disc is ripping, you can be entering the information for another one. Phile Audio will rip from as many drives as you can hook up to your computer, simultaneously.
