Definately on my favourites list EAC, CDDEA99 thats nice, The New DBPowerAMP converter, too.
But NEVER NEVER try to rip straight from CD to MP3 agree totally with that restriction.
Nice feature of CDDAE99 is you can create WAVs with almost complete file & track names, by presetting the download path
so less editing to do in the end, to correctly title the tracks in the reccommended form.
Encoders: Audio Active Production Studio Pro 2.04 best for speed and Fixed bit rates
Razor Lame (the LAME encoder the the Razor Front end)
DEfinately the tops for VBR and ID3 preservation etc.
Snark.
