Fre:ac Overview
Fre:ac is an open source audio converter and CD ripper for Windows, macOS, and Linux. This page now points to Fre:ac 1.1.7 release assets from the official GitHub releases, including Windows EXE packages, macOS DMG packages, and Linux AppImage builds. Fre:ac converts audio between common formats such as MP3, AAC, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, Opus, WMA, and WAV, and can rip CDs with metadata support from online databases. It is useful for music library migration, batch conversion, and preparing audio files on machines that cannot browse for installers during setup. The Linux AppImage and platform-specific installers can be downloaded once, copied to removable media or a local software share, and reused for repeat offline setup. To install offline: download the Fre:ac package for the target operating system, copy it to the destination machine, and run the installer or AppImage locally.
