Iam after a decent mp3 rip program please people, was going to use imgburn but looking at their site iam sure its only a burning program. My only option at the mo is WMP, just wondered what else is on the market?

there you go, EAC with Lame preconfigured for you, double click the exe once and it'll install itself

check start menu for the link to it

select the files you want, and click mp3, the default output folder is C:\MP3, you can change it in the options

Hmmmm, working now...odd
 
WMP displays the wrong disc, disc 2 instead off disc 1! Iam ripping a few albums for my archos.

EAC selected the correct disc! BTW, what lame again, heard about it before.
 
EAC looks great but its only ripping in .wav now. On my first try the file formate came out as .mp3 which is what I want. Ive not changed anything. Checked the file format in EAC. Cant see where iam going wrong?!

I think EAC rips to wav to begin with, and then converts it to mp3.

Yer your right, I didnt leave it too finish. Other thing is when I change the compression to 128kbps, after each rip the cd is ripped at 256, do you know why? Do I need to change the LAME encoder?
 
Well what EAC does is rip each track to a wav file and then launches Lame to convert to MP3. As for 128Kbps/256Kbps, what I think is going on is that you've set 128Kbps and that is the average and 256Kbps is being reported probably because its the highest bitrate used in the song.

What happens is that where a song needs lots of detail in the sound, then a higher bitrate is used for that. Where a song is quieter then the bitrate used is lower. This achieves a kind of compromised trade-off between small file size and good quality sounds. If you watch the Lame MP3 external window when it is converting the wav to MP3 you'll see each bitrate and it starts to encode the track and you'll see what bitrate it is using and how much of the song uses each bitrate as it goes along.
 
Yeh I see what your saying, Iam sure I should be able to get 128 tho.

Some off the tracks have been ripped to 256 and others to 320, not ideal as I wanted 128.
