Ripping MP3s from CDs

As the title indicates, what is the best program for windows that I can use to rip mp3 files off of my CDs. I'm sick of using Windows Media Player to make WMAs when I could be making MP3s instead.

I recommend OGGs over MP3s unless you need to play them on some device that can't play OGGs.

This is Echo! heheh

The reason why not WMA is b/c he is a linux user so hates MS stuff lol. I liked WMA I had it for my old MP3 player but my new one which has been fryed didnt like WMA. Plus when I start using it, u had to get a lisence for ur albums and u couldnt edit the wavetable and some progs didnt like them. Buts its all changed now. I do recommend it. Better sound quality and less space I cant complain.

Mak isn't a Linux user. I didn't say anything about WMA. I can play them in Linux. I can even make them in Linux if I use Wine. I would recommend OGG over all of these though.

Yeah, but you can't burn OGG files to a cd and play them on DVD players.

Search on Google for

Cdex

Best ripper ever...

Rip Mp3s at 192kbps that is just about standard now, leaves 128kbps in the dust

Just reiterating the fact that OGG files are useless. Hah.

I would use ogg if I knew how to properly convert them. Also, I'm not a linux user, I run Windows XP.

dBpowerAMP does MP3, WMA, OGG and a whole bunch of others if you download the codecs for it. It's a really nice piece of kit. Come on, it must be good if it's a Windows program that I have on my Linux desktop menu.

As for playing OGGs back, Winamp comes with the plugin to play them by default. I doubt there are many hardware devices that can play them back but I'm fairly sure there are some in existence.
