Welcome to the coolest, best sounding, most powerful Digital Stereo MP3/CD playing and recording software available anywhere!
With this version you can try out all of our great features at full strength without charge or obligation. Since this version is free, it lets you try everything at full strength but after encoding (ripping) 20 tracks to MP3 at true CD quality from your CD collection AND recording (burning) two 74 minute CD’s as fast as your hardware can move (no 2x when you have an 8x burner), these features will turn off. They can be turned back on immediately by upgrading to our Premium Version for $24.95, compared to $30.00 elsewhere for less.
Just by registering your free software (don’t worry, we will not sell your info to anyone, ever!), we will add: Instant CDDB database recognition of your CD tracks by title, artist and album; Free MP3 tracks from our partners; Lifetime upgrades to all the free features we will add, (Lots of cool stuff in the works) and Special Offers available only to our registered users from our great hardware, content and software partners.
Our Review: Spressa is the name for Sony's new range of CD Recording devices, Spressa Play & Record is a digital music centre for your PC, featuring CD player, MP3 Ripper and CD Recorder. As you would expect from a company such as Sony, Spress Play & Record is superb, featuring a super-smart interface and great sound while still being as simple as can be. Unfortunately Spressa doesn't have the features that would have made it a big fish in the MP3 pond. Instead it is a mere minnow, featuring only 3 MP3 encoding rates, no skins, no plugins and no net radio. It is a good effort from Sony, but can't compete with the likes of HyCD and MusicMatch Jukebox.
