[Vietfobster]

cdex is freeware

http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/ lame encoder is included

Not voting because I use PlexTools Professional which came with my Plextor

lol, its true. media players sucks, music match takes so long to load and stuff, itunes best option, cuz its got ipod, fast ripping, fast burning.

@sven

I've been using iTune for 3 months now and I love it..

best of all.. it's FREE!

wow, i was soo ignorant but ive seen the light

Im going to go add to my Freeware list: EAC and CDEX.

No more WMP10 Cd Rips. I only use FLAC or LAME now.

im going to try razorlame next, though im very happy.

great thread, but the Poll is broken.

all i need is wmp10, nothing else is necessary

Musicmatch

EAC. Never heard of it before this thread. Now love it. Nice and small but still has all features I need. Not bloated like MusicMatch.

[mirkocosta]

EAC is recognized to be the n.1 ripper

But CDEX performs well than EAC under certain circumstances

Shortly, tried both, loved both. Now I use foobar2000. It does EVERYTHING (play, rips, manage) and it's enought FOR ME.

Er... what is winamp ^___^;

[DigeratiPrime]

OK Ive got this down. B)

1) RIP Audio CD to WAV files using EAC.

2) IF there are any errors, BRASSO the disk until they go away

3) ENCODE using Flac Frontend.

4) Tag Files with MetaData.

5) Enjoy.

CDex, nothing more

Heh, I downloaded AudioGrabber for my girlfriend to use and an even better one has been on the back of my mind. I'm glad I noticed this thread. Audio rippers seem to be the main thing she gets the hang of with the PC. Well, she can do pretty much anything as long as I show her. ^_^

Anyway, I'll try CDex. I like freeware. I currently use 1By1 Directory Player to playback my MP3...dunno if I'll use foobar2000...will check it out sometime.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Audiograbber works well for me, and for a while now it has been freeware

I prefer iTunes over anything, and that's freeware too

AudioGrabber

You can't specify a desired bitrate with AudioGrabber. CDex is more professional, anyway.
