Summary: Let $E$ be a countable directed graph. We show that for the algebra $C^*(E)$ the properties of being AF-embeddable, quasidiagonal, stably finite, and finite are equivalent and that these properties hold if and only if no cycle in $E$ has an entrance. In this case, we present a construction, in the spirit of the Drinen-Tomforde desingularization, that allows one to embed $C^*(E)$ into a AF graph algebra.
