Also CDex from Sourceforge.net just type CDex in their little search bar. Fast, easy, great quality, many ripping options and CDDB Look-ups. Also have a volume normalizer feature that's pretty good.

There's also <a target="_blank" href=http://www.exactaudiocopy.de>Exact Audio Copy</a>.

As far as I'm concerned (and 99% of people "in the know")... EAC (exact audio copy) "Secure Mode" ripping is THEE way to just get it right. period.

In fact it's so good at what it does, that it makes broken (aka copy-protected) audio cds sound MUCH BETTER than the actual cd in a regular cdplayer. Case in point, Coldplay's last album. Try it yourself! :)

For an even more grotesque contrast, try comparing an EAC Secure Mode rip against a cheap&dirty "Burst Mode" ripper like AudioGrabber on a broken cd like the last Coldplay. ;)

Then you'll know who is king of rippers.
