London - UK
For Release 10 August 2005
CDlabs www.cdlabs.co.uk are pleased to announce they now offer CD ripping to the FLAC digital music file format using Hi-Pro Encode&trade – CDlabs industry leading bulk ripping service.
The recent popularity of new home network audio players such as the Sonos&trade DMS, Squeezebox and Roku Soundbridge have led to an increased interest in true hi fidelity digital music. FLAC is becoming one of the most popular of these 'lossless' formats - music files that suffer no loss in audio quality when converted from CD.
In response to this demand CDlabs now offer a choice of FLAC or MP3 as part of their standard encoding service. This service focuses on a very accurate audio extraction and encoding process, tagging of all songs and embedding of the album artwork cover images - all within 5 working days. Everyone can now enjoy hi-fi quality music around their home – with all the convenience digital music brings.
ABOUT FLAC - This is an emerging digital music standard which has several benefits over MP3. Firstly there is absolutely no loss in sound quality when converting to FLAC from CD therefore FLAC digital music produces perfect CD audio quality. Secondly, FLAC is a sensible way to backup (archive) your CD collection against future loss or damage. Thirdly, FLAC future proofs your digital music collection as it can be converted to any other digital format in the future, simply and easily without having to re-rip your entire CD collection again.
CDlabs is a market leader in hi-fidelity audio encoding using rigorous CD data extraction and encoding algorithms which guarantee superb quality results. CDlabs encodes both professional and personal collections to the same high standard.
CDlabs Hi-Pro Encode&trade service is capable of extremely accurate CD audio sound extraction (CD ripping) and subsequent conversion into data file formats such as MP3(vbr to 320kbps), FLAC, WMA, AAC, and others. Tagging is also highly accurate as it uniquely cross references data from several CDDB sources.

Testimonials
Laxmi Shellard - London"My husband bought me an iPod for Christmas. I thought I would have to pay to download all my favourite tunes which I had on CD but someone at work told me about CDlabs. They were able to convert all my CD's and put them on my iPod with the track names and artist so now I can easily play all my music. Now my husband wants an iPod thanks to CDlabs!"
