It's only for Linux and they make that absolutely clear. If you use Windows there are plenty of other options referenced in this thread and elsewhere. This project is at least nine years old with over 1,600 commits. There are 105 open issues. If you bothered to spend a few minutes to look at the source and open issues you'd realize how complicated and difficult it actually is to enable as many (Linux) users as possible (with cheap, out of spec, and shoddy hardware) to make close-to-perfect rips (with metadata, in multiple formats, etc) of nearly any compact disc produced over the last four decades. Finally, as someone who has created and contributed to open source projects calling this project "lazy" is downright offensive and completely unfair. Please feel free to spend your personal time and effort to create something better. I'm sure the people who successfully use whipper everyday will be anxiously awaiting and rejoice at the release of your perfect implementation. Then, when it (never) appears someone like you will be here trashing a design decision or compromise you made. Or, as the saying goes, I'm sure the maintainers of the project would appreciate your pull requests. Valid criticism and debate is great (and beneficial) but your comment and attitude go way too far. Please try to put yourself in the shoes of people who donate their time to actually produce something of value and utility (for free) only to have keyboard warriors come out of the woodwork and call them lazy.
