CD Rip 0.5.0 is a public beta for macOS 14+.

New

  • Optional SFTP upload from Metadata: choose MP3/FLAC, save tags and filenames first or upload current files, and review warnings for generic Track01 names or unsaved metadata.
  • Passwords in macOS Keychain or SSH key/agent authentication, explicit server-fingerprint trust, per-file progress and cancellation. Uploads use a new folder and temporary .part filenames; local files are retained.
  • Local AccurateRip v1/v2 checksums, manual offsets scoped to drive model/firmware, and separate results for unavailable references, mismatches and verification. Online database access is disabled pending AccurateRip's approval. No online matches or automatic drive calibration are claimed by this release.
  • Stricter WAV format/container validation before conversion, with recovery evidence preserved.

Download

Choose arm64 for Apple Silicon or x86_64 for Intel. Open the DMG and drag CD Rip to Applications. Both app bundles and DMGs are Developer ID signed, notarized and stapled. Audio tools are included; AI CLIs are optional and installed separately. Existing sessions remain in Application Support when replacing the app.

Validation and limits

105 discovered tests passed with live opt-ins disabled. Separate local SSH tests passed password/key authentication, host-key pinning, rejection of wrong credentials/changed keys, and byte-identical upload. The independent AccurateRip calculation vector also passed. Bundled codec/tagging checks run for both architectures; Intel runs under Rosetta, not on a physical Intel Mac.

This remains a beta: broader drive/macOS testing, physical Intel validation, Keychain authorization UX and production SFTP server compatibility remain pending. SFTP currently requires an Ed25519 host key and has no automatic resume or AzuraCast station API integration. Audio fingerprint recognition is not implemented.

SHA256SUMS and exact corresponding sources for the bundled third-party audio tools are attached. App code is MIT licensed; third-party tools retain their own licenses.

v0.4.0-beta.1
7623af1

CD Rip 0.4.0 is the first public beta: a native macOS app for audio CD extraction, MP3/FLAC conversion, tracklist OCR and AI-assisted metadata review.

Downloads

  • Apple Silicon: CD-Rip-0.4.0-arm64.dmg
  • Intel: CD-Rip-0.4.0-x86_64.dmg — experimental; checked through Rosetta, physical Intel testing pending.

Requires macOS 14 or later. Open the DMG and drag CD Rip to Applications. Audio tools are bundled; Homebrew is not required. Optional AI features require a separately installed and authenticated Codex CLI or Claude Code CLI.

Both apps and disk images are Developer ID signed and Apple notarized, with stapled tickets. SHA-256 checksums are in SHA256SUMS.

Features

  • External audio CD detection, per-track selection/progress, cancellation and retry.
  • MP3 192/256/320 kbps and V0, FLAC, or MP3 + FLAC; one destination with format subfolders and optional WAV cleanup.
  • Manual tracklists and local photo OCR with CD selection and per-track validation.
  • Metadata and artwork research for one track or all tracks using local AI CLIs.
  • Manual editing, Save all, embedded artwork and Artist - Title filenames without audio recompression.
  • Session-specific settings/destinations, draft saving, tagging backups and recovery.

Validation and limitations

89 discovered automated tests passed with live opt-in tests disabled. Bundled audio encoding/decoding, tagging, artwork and audio preservation checks passed on arm64 and x86_64 (Rosetta). Both application builds launched in isolated test workspaces.

Physical ripping was previously tested on Apple Silicon/macOS 26.1. Clean-Mac/macOS 14 testing, physical Intel hardware, broader CD-drive compatibility and complete AzuraCast acceptance remain beta validation work. AccurateRip, offset calibration and audio fingerprint recognition are not implemented. AI proposals require review; AzuraCast upload is manual.
