Best MP3 Ripping software

[guy4everkickinit]

What do you all believe the best Ripping software is?

I was using musicmatch jukebox for a while but with XP its been hanging when I run the program. Is there a better program available?

Exact Audio Copy using the Lame encoder.

Some good information and links can be found here.
Also click here for ripping and here for encoding.

Use EAC with LAME.

Here's a list of recommended LAME settings (from the r3mix forums).

Another vote for EAC + Lame I was using CD-N-Go but then it started crashing my computer. EAC has so many more options though (just wish it auto created a folder for each CD ya rip) and does so much better on CDs with scratches. But it does seem to cut off the end of some songs...not quite sure why its doing that. And it's not as fast...but I guess thats the quality aspect cutting in.
