The best way (and the way the rippers on the net do) is:
EAC (exact audio copy) for ripping the audio
and then use LAME Mp3 codec for making the mp3s
It rules

Thx for the advice. I tried AudioCatalyst.
It was easy to install and I ripped my first track as a test, no problem. I just accepted all the deafult settings. BUT... the resultant MP3 sounded real bad. Lots of bass and distortion.
I've never compared an MP3 with the original CD audio track, and I realise that you lose quality... but the MP3 I generated was really bad. Any ideas what the problem maybe?
Also... What is normalise anyway?
Cheers
P.S. Where to I get access to EAC and LAME MP3 codec??Songs posted by me have either been editted for a Yamaha PSR-740 or have been found on the internet and are in their original state. If you like them, apply for MidiHub membership and see all my songs online (plus other peoples collections too).

You can get EAC (an EXCELLENT application) from here http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/eac6.html
Another one that has worked really well for me is AudioGrabber. It is almost identical to AudioCatalyst, except that you can configure it to use a bunch of external encoders (like Lame, Blade, OGG, APE - to name a few)... AudioCatalyst uses the Xing encoder which in my opinion SUCKS *SS.
Yet another is dbPowerAmp - Not only will it allow you to rip from CD to WAV, it will convert between (over) a dozen different audio formats (ape, ogg, mp3, flac, wav, vqf, aiff, etc) - reeally goood!
New v9 just released - - http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm
If you're looking for simple - you could always go with a media player like MediaJukebox - it will rip into mp3 or ogg (etc) too, plus it will play almost any audio or video file you can think of.
(or) MusicMatch, which is a good mp3 player, but supports almost nothing else.
I'll include some various encoders for you in zip:
blade.zip (includes blade.exe and bladeenc.dll)
lame_enc.zip (includes lame_enc.dll)
lame.zip (includes lame.exe)
The .exe are used by EAC and similar programs to encode, and the .dll files are used by AudioGrabber to add-on external encoders. If u need help configuring any of this, PM me.[.home] [.faq] [.search] [.active] [.chat] [.hitrax]

p.s.
I've also got a whole ton of stuff for encoding OGG files, Ape (lossless compression) Files and other too - - -
Plus, I have filters that let you work with OGG files or APE files directly in Cool Edit or Cool Edit Pro! Pretty sweet.
If your interested PM me.
