Best CD ripping software? (1 Viewer)

[Chad Seymour]

What program is generally accepted as the best CD ripping software? I used to use Easy CD-DA extractor, but think I lost it somewhere along the line...

Been happy with CDex. http://www.cdex.n3.net/

Rob and Brian are both right!
I use both programs, each using the LAME plug-in for MP3 conversion, and both are excellent. EAC is great for damaged discs. It's a little slower and not as user-friendly, but once you have the preferences set up coorectly, it's a great program. CDex is easier to use and faster.
You won't go wrong with either program.

I also use both programs. Check out my thread about ripping from extremly scratched CDs for some more advice.
