Audiograbber copies music from CDs or external sources such as radios, cassettes, or turntables. The music is saved on your hard disk as WAV, MP3, WMA, or OGG files. Audiograbber has all the common features of CD-ripper programs, such as normalizing, encoding of external files, track-name downloading and uploading from and to FreeDB, and support for ID3 tags and CD Text. The line-in-sampling function can automatically split recordings from LPs into separate tracks and use a noise-reduction plug-in from Algorithmix. It also can schedule recordings if you, for example, want to record a radio show when you're not home. Audiograbber is multilingual; the most common languages are included in the setup file, and others can be downloaded from the home page. The latest version adds a function to better deal with copy-protected CDs. Also new is built-in OGG support, and the program now can rip karaoke (CDG) discs.

Also, get the LAME decoder while you get audiograbber.

EAC is what I use now. It's very customizable, so you can get many different qualities (ie. different VBR's or CBR's as well). You will need to download and install LAME.

Another vote for EAC, like I said a while ago, it takes longer, but it's higher quality (up to 320kbps).

I just use Windows Media Player 9. It works great. It only rips to WMA without an MP3 encoder plug-in but I am fine with WMA.
