When trimming tracks you can adjust the amount of fade-in / fade-out for each
individual track. This is useful for fading the applause on live recordings, or
to avoid sudden cutoffs when the original tracks run into each other. The fade
can be instantly previewed to hear the resulting effect.

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is Microsofts alternative format to MP3 files for
compressing music files as promoted in Windows XP / Media Player 8. LP Ripper
uses the Microsoft WMA encoder utility to produce WMA files in a similar way to
how it encodes MP3 files.
Encoder setup is now much simpler when using the recommended encoders
Fraunhofers FastEnc and Microsofts WMA encoder utility. However, you can still
use Custom setups using other encoders if preferred.

The Trim Preview has been completely redesigned to eliminate intermittent
playback tracking problems.
Some third-party programs (e.g. Creative's WaveStudio, Steinberg's Wavelab etc.)
can create
WAV files with extended non-standard, or application-specific, header information.
LP Ripper is now able to process a number of these without problems.
WAV files larger than 2Gb (3 Hours and 20 Minutes+) are rejected with a suitable error
message.
Invalid track filenames are reported with a suitable error message.
