[Dan~]

I use to do this all the time back in the day but need to do it again, what’s the best software to use these days?

Thanks

I use to use cdex

looks like it's still around CDex | Free CD to MP3 converter, ripper, FLAC, M4A, WMA, OGG, CD extractor

I am a big fan of dBpoweramp CD Ripper. I used it on over 700 CD's and never had a problem,

The most 'proper' (perfectionist) way is to use Exact Audio Copy. it's what the audiophile's use to rip their CD's.

but in general I suggest keeping all of your audio CD's, or any music you really care about, in FLAC format as this way it's easy to convert from lossless (FLAC etc) to lossy (MP3/AAC etc) anytime you want. I always prefer to keep FLAC of any music I care about since I always have a high quality source I can rely on that will never be outdated.

p.s. I use Foobar2000 for general audio playback/conversion as it's easy to convert from FLAC to say MP3 with this and this program is updated regularly.

Hello,

I use Exact Audio Copy with the LAME MP3 encoder to transcode my audio CDs.

With a lot of people recommending Exact Audio Copy I think I will try it out.

Good old Windows Media Player never amazes to fail me. VLC is another one.

Itunes does this also
