I use dbpoweramp for ripping and conversion(configurable to encode in multiple formats and put those files in different places on your computer) for all of my own personal stuff on my computer.

To rip friends stuff that's always got a small scratch here or there(or heavily scratched it doesn't matter) I use CDex exclusively because (maybe it's me or my computer/drive) I never ever get satisfactory results using EAC or dbpoweramp or any other program I have tried to use to rip a scratched cd. I usually convert to 128 because no-one cares what it sounds like, they just want thier music from thier cds put on thier digital player.

Yes, you can choose the quality(bitrate) of the output file.

What language do you speak and I will look to see if it's supported by the programs mentioned?
 

I cannot find a Greek translation of EAC(Exact Audio Copy)

dbpoweramp has some Greek info at the following link:

Looks like CDex has support for Greek also:

MusicMania: I think most cd players, and dvd players, can play mp3's. No need to do anything special. Whether they'll recognize your playlists is another story. You should do some research on whatever player you intend on using whether they'll recognize playlists, and what type. But they should play mp3's without doing anything special. You shouldn't have to "convert" an MP3.

When you do choose a burning software do not to burn your mp3's as an "audio cd". Some programs have this option, and this option will convert the mp3's to red book (CD Audio) format and you'll likely only get about 16 or 17 tracks on a single cd. Whereas, you should be able to burn around sixty or seventy 320Kbps mp3's on a regular CD. For example 650Mb CD / 10Mb MP3's = 65 tracks. Just burn the files as you would any other data.

You can use the free tool CDBurnerXP to burn audio or data (mp3) discs.

(maybe even the windows explorer supports this out of the box)
