April 09 : New Audiograbber community launched.
When we changed servers in January we decided not to set up the previous Audiograbber forums again, because they were out of date. We instead now set up a new question and answer community based on the StackOverflow system. It is very simple. You can ask questions and write answers. What makes it superiour to other systems is the ability to vote. If you think a question or an answer is good, vote for it. Top voted items are displayed first. Users whose postings get a lot of votes automatically get a higher status and more permissions. Do you have questions about Audiograbber? Then check it out!

January 25 : Audiograbber got a new home.
Our website is back online! Because our previous webhoster quit its service, the international Audiograbber website at www.audiograbber.com-us.net went offline, too. We since decided to move to our very own domain at www.audiograbber.org, to offer a permanent home for Audiograbber and all the ones who still like using it!

February 9 : Audiograbber is now freeware.
See statment below and just get it from the download page.
The new version is named 1.83 and it is almost the same as 1.82. There are no new functions, just some minor bugfixes and smaller improvements. Normally this would only justify a build increase (from 1.82 build 2 to 1.82 build 3) but since it is now freeware I feel it is best to give it its own version number.
Development will continue and it should not take that long before we see a version 1.84 with support for some new internal encoders. I am working with Spoon from dBPowerAMP with that. (Basically, he is telling me how to support the internal encoders he have for his program dBPowerAMP).

December 25 : Audiograbber will be freeware.
On February 9, 2004 Audiograbber will be released as freeware. When I sold my other cd-ripper AudioCatalyst to Xing I signed a contract which has not allowed me to release Audiograbber as freeware but on February 9, 2004 that contract expires. It has been a great journey and experience making Audiograbber and it has paid off well so now I feel it is time to give something back to the 'Internet and MP3 community' so freeware it will be. I am also fed up with all the administrative work which I now hope it will be less of. I will continue developing Audiograbber and with less administrative work I can hopefully spend more time making new versions.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you guys out there!
