It supports [[CD-Text]] to allow ripped tracks, with reduced user effort, to have the names of songs, artists and albums. It can also automatically identify (most) inserted audio CDs and look up the metadata by means of an online database ([[freedb]]) for automatic tagging, naming and sorting of ripped files.<ref>Christian Brochec: Audacity 2: Enregistrez, montez, mixez. 2nd edition, Pearson Education France, 2012, {{ISBN|978-2-7440-9402-6}}, chapter: CD, section: Extraction audio aved CDex (Windows), page 96</ref> It also includes [[cdparanoia]] for robust CD reading. CDex is considered to be very configurable and relatively easy to use.
