I've been using Music Match Jukebox for a 2 years now and always enjoyed the results.

The test people circulate that show that Musicmatch sucks compares a very old, dated version.

256 CBR, r3mix's archive setting.

WMP....basically cuz im too lazy to go find something, it does a good job with organizing, and musicmatch doesnt work.

I like Easy CD-DA Extractor.

If you must use MP3, use the "--alt-preset standard" switch with LAME. CBR and r3mix are obsolete encoding methodologies.

It's a HIGHLY tuned preset that aims to produce high quality encodings using approximately 192kbps on average (it's VBR). Better than r3mix or 256kbps CBR. It's also very slow: about 2x real-time on my 800MHz Celeron...it's does a lot of number crunching to do its magic.

No I do it too, it works like a charm. My ears have gotten used to listening to them like that too, it is rather dissapointing to go back and listen to 128kbps CBR!

I second that. Very easy to use and I've never had one issue with it. I am thinking of giving CDex a shot though, for comparison. It's open source right?

Yes, CDex is open source.

Another vote for EAC / lame.

[krackato]

Razor Lame with ""--alt-preset extreme". Same as standard, but for those of us who are more paranoid. The most paranoid use ""--alt-preset insane". However, as of late I've switched to Ogg, which to me sounds better.

 

[abaez]

If you use --alt-preset and you don't like VBR mp3's just use --alt-preset CBR 192 or whatever you want it encoded at.

EAC with LAME, 160kbps ABR

[NEVERwinter]

another vote for EAC and RazorLAME, but I prefer '--r3mix' preset
