CD Ripping
DogMan:
Easy CD-DA Extractor is the best one. It works great, has all the bells and whistles one needs, and they send out notices alerting one to upgrades available which are at no additional cost.
NigelH:
These days I use VUPlayer. It's light and ripping is painless.

I particularly like it's mechanism of specifying codecs

If you have a Plextor drive, PlexTools is accurate and fast.

Fast yes, accurate no, unfortunately.
Found out the hard way. Ripping the same (clean, perfect, non-copyprotected and unscracted) CD multiple times produced different .wav output. And it wasn't just a few bytes of header info, it was a lot of bytes. Nothing that I could hear, but definitely visible.
EAC, on the other hand, and how much I hate to admit it, produces perfect rips for me every time, and it's verifiable because it supports the AccurateRip plugin.
Carol Haynes:
Can some one explain why this happens? I have always been perplexed that CDs are capable of storing accurate digital data but ripping music seems to be prone to errors like this? If CD music data is just treated as digital data why are there errors cropping up all the time ?
