Fooobar2000
Still have so many flac files from that.
Foob is the best audio player/tagger/ripper/converter ever
Winamp. Still do.
Same! Still kicks the llama’s ass.
Whoa. Blast from the past.
My only objection is '00’s

That one. Was great. Software used to be fun
I remember using CDParanoia on Linux and some GUI for it (Sound Juicer?), CDex and Exact Audio Copy.
Tracker or cdparanoia. IIRC cdparanoia was more reliable.
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.
what.cd represent! This is the gold standard and if anyone is coming here for advice an what to use themselves, this is it.
EAC is closed source freeware. Still the best tool back then under Windows
Still is, right? (Open for recommendations)
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
Windows Media Player did the job for me.
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
Imgburn. Those were good times.
I use sound juicer. I used it this month.
I did use AudioGrabber at the turn of the century though.
i remember acidrip. i remember it was a gtk program, written in some interpreted language: perl or python.

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.
