What software do you use to rip audio CDs?

Tried EAC, didn't get on with it so back to CDex for me

anything with accuraterip and/or cuetools database support should be good enough. it's nice to get confirmation that your rips match other people's.

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 tried to use commands like -V0 etc but it didn't work... Will take a look during the weekend, thanks.

used to EAC but switched to dbpoweramp a few years ago.

I've used CDex, dbPowerAmp, and just about everything you can think of.

EAC to FLAC is my choice now.

xrecode II I realy like the software can convert almost any format to another and will use muilt-core cpus in converting.

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

It rips each track to .mp3.
It's very basic, though. Grabs most info from online and most apps tend to auto-organise the files based on that info. It often gets the album name wrong and so on.
But for basic users, who don't really need (or cannot even hear the benefits of) lossless high fidelity FLAC type stuff and just want to drag & drop a load of music onto their mobile phones... WMP is pretty good.
