Try out Musicmatch Jukebox Plus. It does a very good job of it.

I'll second MusicMatch if you are looking for other features as well. It's an excellent player, converts well, and has burning capabilities. I think you can download a trial version here:

You may need to pay the $20 for the Plus version in order to rip MP3s at CD quality kbps, but it's worth it.

HTH

CDEX doesn't have any nags...at least not any version I've tried.
It's the simplest way to rip MP3's, and is free.

Audiograbber: The free version is available at no cost, and can copy only half the tracks without restarting the program. The registered version costs $20 and has no such restrictions.

itunes: MAC only

dBPower AMP: free music converter, other bits are shareware. I only use it to convert MP3's to .wav for editing.

Musicmatch: excellent program, however, CDEX will rip easier, and Nero will burn easier.

Fact of the matter is, I do believe that Nero has a plugin that allows you to convert audio cd's to mp3's, but i may be wrong about that.

I use Exact Audio Copy for its ability to rip from even the most damaged CDs. It works well for me.
