Hey man, use Exact Audio Copy to extract them to wav. Then use either Nero Burning Rom for coversion to mp3 or Easy CD-DA Extractor [has a 30 day trial]. And finally, if you like having the ID3 tags, you can check out TagRename [also 30 day trial]. |

actually i just found audiograbber
went to download.com, searched for freeware cd rippers, this had the best user rating (87% or something)
works great, and has the freedb thingy so i don't even have to name crap, does it for me
i'd definately recommend it |

It's alright.. EAC has the freedb as well. In fact, I believe most do now. The problem is that Audiograbber looses some of the quality while you're extracting the music.
Just a random tip for people new to ripping cds, always rip wav to hd first then convert. On-the-fly ripping to mp3 will cause you to loose quality! |

| Also make sure it uses the LAME codec. |

| Any suggestions for those of us who want to rip a mix CD to one big file, rather than eight or ten individual tracks? |
