'''[[Easy CD-DA Extractor]]''', is a CD Ripping, Audio Encoding, and CD Writing program for [[Microsoft Windows]].  

The first version of this program was created by Jukka Poikolainen in Christmas time [[1997]]. The original name of the software, which was released as freeware in January, [[1998]], was 'CD-Wizard'.

Later in [[1998]], the name of the software was extended to 'Easy CD-DA Extractor'. 

Easy CD-DA Extractor was the first software that was able to make direct CD-DA to MP3 copies. The MP3 encoding was performed via MP3 Codec developed by the [[Fraunhofer]].
