What program do you guys rip CDs with?

[Andrew LB]

I'm going to begin ripping most of my music CDs onto my PC for insurance reasons since i often carry a case with 200+ CDs in my car and don't want to risk looking them all to some punk thief. I'm looking for a good program for ripping all my CDs into high quality .mp3 format so if i ever have to re-burn the music, it wont loose too much quality.

I use EAC. Have had no problems with it and find it very easy to use. If you're encoding you can make EAC use lame or other encoders for encoding automatically as they're ripped.

There is only one choice, EAC (Exact Audio Copy).

The only other program than EAC I'd ever reccommend is CDex which supports the CDparanoia libraries ported from *nix that can be enabled in the options menu. CDparanoia's methods are similar in reguards to EAC, so if EAC and your system don't get along (I've encountered a system that didn't), CDex is quite capable replacement.

agreed.

if you don't use eac, you are an amateur and always will be until you switch to eac.

EAC, it's also very good at writing audio CD's from a wav and a cue file.
