View allfre:ac was added to AlternativeTo by Kahlil88 on Apr 17, 2009 and this page was last updated Oct 22, 2020. fre:ac is sometimes referred to as BonkEnc, freac.
It works, but the interface is clumsy. There are two triangular buttons, one is play and another 'rip" - go figure.
The interface for folder creation and naming has a bug - it creates empty folders and not in correct places. Which is tolerable, but clumsy.
While I use Foobar or the commandline for encoding/converting, I always suggest BonkEnc to the uninitiated due to its ease-of-use & the underlying KISS (keep it simple, stupid) attitude.
It never failed me, and these moved me to translate the program to the spanish (Spain).
