Good non-spywared audio extraction program? (GOT IT)

[Joony]

I need to rip some tracks into mp3 (historical music from the 1900s) for a project.

Yup, EAC is the best for ripping. I usually rip into .wav and then encode the files with LAME.

 

[Joony]

so will EAC be able to convert this into mp3 format for me?

 

[Adul]

I always used cdex for ripping and encoding.

Rip to wav with EAC, then encode to mp3 with LAME --or maybe encode to mp4 with NERO.

After googling lame, it seems to be a linux program...

I'm surprised no one's hit you over the head with The Anandtech FAQ on this subject yet.

EAC + LAME --alt preset -standard

I've Always Used CD 'n Go. I don't think it has any spyware 😕 . Anyways it contains several codecs some of which will rip straight to MP3 from the CD.
