Max is a free software CD ripper and audio transcoder for Mac OS X.

Internals

Max utilizes cdparanoia for ripping, and, in addition to individual codec libraries, it takes advantage of Core Audio, the [http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/ libsndfile] library, and the [http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib.html TagLib] library to support ripping to and encoding between over 20 different lossless and lossy formats and editing their metadata. It also supports MusicBrainz and the Growl notification system.
