What free ripping software?

[MaZa]

EAC or CDex. Shouldnt matter which as long as you use LAME for Mp3 compression. I dont remember if CDex supports lossless encoding.

I found CDex as being much more "user-friendly" than EAC, that's why I went for it.

Yes. CDex is much more user friendly. However, I did encounter a few discs that CDex couldn't rip properly but EAC managed without a hitch. Having said that, matched with a decent optical drive, it should work ok.

I think EAC has come a long way in the last few years and is now much easier to configure than before, though the options may still be overwhelming for newcomers.
