What software do you use to rip audio CDs?

[khodos]

Hey folks,

I'm currently using CDex but it's quite outdated... I was wondering if there was something more modern. I know AIMP is able to rip CDs, but AFAIK it has not the feature to find info about the CD on the internet, like CDex does.

Any advice?

Thanks

I used to use Exact Audio Copy.

I've used CDex for years and years and was about to use EAC as I've read good things about it.

I used to use Exact Audio Copy.

I think that's also pretty outdated...

I tried using it with the latest LAME and for some reason (i guess lame now uses different parameters) it always compresses at 128kbps when using mp3

This is CD ripping we're talking about, not Blu-ray decryption.

I use EAC.

Windows Media Player does it just fine for me...

This, used WMP since..... before CD drives became obsolete. It rips it and includes all the artist/album details which it grabs from the net.

Gosh, I always assumed WMP ripped to .wma! Thanks folks.

Those ones using EAC, that version of lame do you use it with? Because, like I said, it always ripped at 128kbps for me...

You can use whatever Lame settings you like with EAC, you just need to feed in the correct command-line parameters: http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=EAC_and_Lame

dBpoweramp is a lot friendlier if you don't mind stumping up the cash.

I use Foobar as it then plays the FLAC files I get as a result.

I've also used EAC and WMP in the past without problems.
