CD ripper

What program can i use to rip a cd to MP3 format so i can store all my music on my laptop for in my truck. cd's are a pain, but i've got tons of music on them and want to use it. I tried a search on yahoo for freeware, but can't seem to find one that works well...any ideas?

This is the program that I use http://download.com.com/3000-2140-10...ml?tag=lst-0-1 . It is a very simple program to use, and its free! It hooks up with the CDDB registry, so you dont have to name youre mp3s, it knows what they are before you rip them. You then extract them to a compressed audio file, and boom! Youre done. I cant say enough good things about that program.

I've found MusicMatch jukebox to work really well. Not only will it serve as a ripper for cds, but it will name them, and be a media player.

Media Player XP/MP9 does a bang-up job, and it's included with Win-duhs.

Yeah, but it will only do WMA files. You have to buy a MP3 encoder seprately.

You sure? Reason I'm asking is, mine will do MP3 or WMA, and I didn't buy any add-ons. I leave it in WMA mode, just to be contrary!

i use real player or real one... the newest free version allows you to choose either mp3 or the real format. i know you have to name the tracks if you're offline when you rip it but i'm not sure if you have to when you're online..i've never tried it..hehe... i use kazaa to download my mp3's...

I use a program called Easy CD-DA Extractor. By far, without a doubt, the best ripping program I've seen. And I've used the other ones people have mentioned.

I like musicmatch as a player, but I think it sucks as a ripper. It isn't very flexible.

You all should really give that CDex program a try. At worst, you just delete it from youre system. I searched for a good program for two months, and that was by far the best I have run.
