FineRip? What?!?

FineRip is an organizer for huge MP3 collections (10.000 files and up) and plays your favourite music without any effort. It is a Microsoft Windows based add-on for your Winamp 2.x / Winamp 5.x player. (Winamp 3.x will not work!)

PLEASE take a look at the (german) FineRip-forum to report bugs and suggestions for program improvements. TNX!
We need a hand for beta-testing, moderating and some technical documentation. Send us an eMail if you'd like to join the FineRip development team.

What is it NOT?

A player for your MP3 files (although you can control & feed your Winamp),
CD ripper,
...

All apologies

We spent several thoughts on naming this product "Cucumber-4000" but this wasn't really satisfying. FineRip is a good name although we guess that only Germans will really get that...
