Music CD -> PC

Which program would you recommend for ripping music CD to PC? I've been using AudioGrabber for years and wonder what other people are using? I heard EAC is pretty decent too.

Listen to CF and Spig.

If you're serious about listening to music on your PC, or encoding MP3's to use in an MP3CD player, you MUST use EAC with the -r3mix LAME setting. So many ppl have gotten used to 128kbps bitrate mp3s that they don't even realize what they are missing. The difference between an -r3 VBR and a 128kbps MP3, when played on a decent sound system, is staggering.

yeah. . . just gotta say after about 3 weeks of playing with AAC, it is much MUCH better than mp3 in the same bit rate.

I've been playing around EAC and no doubt it is the best audio grabber that I've ever used.
