audiograbber is my favorite

 

[harpomx]

yes, definitely audiograbber.

what's the link to the audiograbber site?

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I usually use Musicmatch Jukebox

 

[harpomx]

Don't know the link. Forget where I got it. Try astalavista. I'm almost certain they've got it.

audiograbber with the bladeenc codec.

audiograbber is fast and simple, but it's encoding quality SUCKS.

NOSOUP4U knows where it's at.

i use fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer 3 codec with grabber version 1.41, and I wouldn't go as far as to say the encoding quality sucks, it may be slow as hell, but if you encode @ 192 kBps and 44100 Hz, you should be fine.

 

[dc]

ok ok, audiograbber at 192 and above is decent. but at 128 it sucks.

what else, 128kBps? Might as well buy a bunch of blank cassettes
I heard the jukebox thing that comes with real player is okay for ripping.
dc, you said audiograbber is fast - is it normal for it to take an hour to rip a regular length cd? Right now its on a K6-2 350, nothing else running in the background.

MusicMatch is my fav choice - good speed/quality. Only downside is that it's a little clunky - but you can't have everything...

I like MusicMatch as well.

Use CDex. It's uses LAME - supposed to be nearly as good a codec as Fraunhofer, and it's all freeware. I love freeware.

Some features as per their website:

- Direct recording of multiple tracks
- Read track information from cdplayer.ini file
- Read track information from local/remote CDDB
- Jitter correction
- Indicates track progress and jitter control
- Normalization of audio signal
- Supports multiple drives
- Conversion of external WAV files
- Support for M3U and PLS play list files
- Best of all, it's free
