EAC (http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/) or CDex (http://cdexos.sf.net/).

Most people prefer the former, though. Find more information here (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/).

CD ripping is the only reason I use Windows Media Player. It works, so I use it.

iTunes works spectacular for me.

Though I'm not sure if the Windows version has the ability to copy CDs.

dbpowerampI second that, but why would you want to rip your CDs to such a old format. If posible rip them to AAC or that MS format since the sound quality is better.

Remember, if you decide on using Windows Media Player remember to turn off the copyright protection.

Are you serious that MP3 is an old format? It might be old but it's still one of the best formats available. I prefer FLAC when ripping CDs though.

I'm a long time AudioCatalyst user, I'm not sure about it being the "best", but I know it works for me perfectly.

I rip from CD to WMA and put it on my MP3 player all the time, and have numerous times burned onto a CDR songs I've ripped from WMA. As Ignite said, that copyright protection can be turned off.

The best audio cd I ever bought. The only one :p
It even came with a 'travel bag' inside the cd protective cardboard box.
It was pre-filled with aromatic herbs :biggrin2:
Excellent music and very original idea inside. Love it. Except the cd's cracked :(

Therefore I do not rib any cd's to mp3's but back in the days I remember using real player something I think.
