I remember using Audiograbber at one point and was surprised to see it was still maintained.

    I remember using CDParanoia on Linux and some GUI for it (Sound Juicer?), CDex and Exact Audio Copy.

    Exact Audio Copy. Open source and guaranteed perfect copy. Most fast ones would have single bit errors.

      Same. EAC + LAME using config guides from NMP3s at the SomethingAwful forums, and then later Oink.

          I don’t know, haven’t been using Windows since a long time ago, but given the fact that ripping CDs isn’t that common nowadays I’d be surprised if a new tool came out that is better than EAC.

    Started with Music Match Jukebox that came on an install CD with my first ever MP3 player, then windows media player 10 came out. Eventually I learned about FLAC so I re-ripped everything with EAC

      Same. I was a kid. I would get CDs from the library and fill my crappy MP3 player from the files extracted from WMP. My CD collection was mostly burned library CDs. Before my parents got a PC that could burn, I would go to the neighbor’s house and get their dad to do it for me. Simpler times.

      Same until I got an MP3 player and it didn’t know what the fuck a .wma file was. Had to re-rip them to a proper format.

    Every time I think back I picture Winamp. And sure enough I looked it up and Winamp could rip tracks and the UI is exactly what I remember

    So: Winamp

    I use sound juicer. I used it this month.

    I did use AudioGrabber at the turn of the century though.

    Audiograbber for a while, then used Foobar2000 since I always had it open anyway, and then finally EAC because its the best and I am still using it.
