Good CD ripper?

[Goldfish4209]

Itunes 8 apparently can't rip in non mp3 192kbps formats anymore. I'm pissed. I like all of my music in aiff (any lossless, for that matter, but wav doesn't support as much metadata). So, is there any option out there that rips in multiple formats, has good codecs, and will download metadata?

To simplify, this is what I'm looking for:

good codecs
good vbr codecs
multiple format support
will find metadata.

runs on vista x64.

Thanks in advance.
