The lawmakers have been sweating the fact that not a whole lot of Americans are truly informed about the quickly approaching 2009 digital TV cutover, and now it seems the effort to spread the word will be led by someone new. John Kneuer, the current head, will be stepping down this month “to pursue new opportunities,” leaving the role of administrator of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. An agency spokesman did note that the resignation was Kneuer’s “own decision” and that his departure “would have no impact on the preparations for the transition. As it stands, Meredith Baker, deputy assistant secretary, will be stepping in to cover his duties, but the White House should be nominating an official replacement soon enough.

It is a CD ripper that aims for perfect accuracy when grabbing audio tracks from CDs. When first running the tool, you can pick the CD-ROM drive and install the Lame MP3 coder to enable ripping directly to MP3 files. The program checks the damaged bits again and again to ensure it sound right in the grabbed file. It also lets you test the tracks beforehand and shows you a report on each track, so that you know what to expect. The program is quite slow in grabbing tracks, but if you have a particularly battered CD, it is definitely worth the time and trouble.

There’s also an option of making an image of an audio CD so that you could copy it later to a CD-R. It, as most CD rippers have, makes use of the free CDDB to get titles and artist names for each CD right.
