KAudioCreator is the standard, KDE-based tool for ripping and encoding digital audio tracks from your compact discs. “Hmm, ripping and encoding are Greek to meâ€Â, you say? Let's put it another way then. KAudioCreator is a program that reduces the file size of CD-quality digital audio tracks up to ten-fold, using powerful compression technologies like MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and FLAC. Furthermore, it does this without a substantial loss of sound quality. Smaller files mean you can pack tons more music onto your digital audio player or computer hard disk.
KAudioCreator is one component in a package called kmultimedia3-CD, a suite of audio-related tools that comes with KDE. In this article, we discuss KAudioCreator Version 1.11, which is included as part of KDE 3.3.
