The following is a brief breakdown of some of the features in Pyro Audio Creator that you'll use most.

Ripper

Digitize your entire CD collection using the Ripper tool. Just put in a CD, pick an audio format, and Ripper takes care of the rest. Once you have converted your CD to a digital format, you can use the other great tools in Audio Creator to manage your newly digitized collection. Ripped files can be used on portable devices.

Burner

The Burner is one of the easiest CD burning tools you will ever use. With just a few clicks, you can create a track list and start burning CDs. Easily drag and drop files from anywhere in your computer right into the Burner tool. Visual feedback tells you how much time and space you have remaining on the blank CD. Burn audio CDs for friends and family or just back up files to a data CD for safekeeping.

Editor

Never lose that special moment of inspiration with the Editor tool. Just click 'record' and capture important ideas, meetings, performances, podcasts, Internet broadcasts -- even digitize and clean your record or cassette collection. Edit audio using a powerful 2-track view based on critically-acclaimed SONAR technology: apply effects, crossfades, trims, hiss and pop removal, and more. When you are done, save it to popular formats like MP3, WMA, WVA, and more.

Tagger

With the number of digital audio files on your system growing by leaps and bounds, it is often hard to get organized or find music. The Tagger tool solves this problem by allowing you to easily label, rename, and edit metadata for better organization of your sound library. In addition, when you import your CD collection, Audio Creator can instantly download CD information from the web including song, album, and artist names for better accuracy.

Encoder

The Encoder is a versatile tool, allowing you to encode or convert audio files to popular formats like MP3, WMA, WAV, AIFF, and more. If you need to encode or convert multiple files, just have the Encoder tool process them all at once, saving you lots of time. The Encoder is also perfect for converting audio to formats like MP3 for use in devices like the iPod, PSP, PlayStation 3, X-Box 360, Zune, and more.

Publisher

The Publisher tool makes it easy to share playlists of your music online. You can easily create online, streaming music players that can be uploaded from Audio Creator to websites like MySpace, eBay, Friendster, Windows Live Spaces, Blogger, and more. You can even match the player to your web design by picking custom colors and sizes.
