CD ripper?

I need to get a decent CD to MP3 ripper.

Where can I find one on the Internet, not one of those "rip 5 tracks only then you have to buy it" ones?

1. Good luck!

I finally found one that works called RipEnc. It uses the LAME engine. But back in my Windows days, I never found one that worked even close to the way it was advertised, though I did find several that didn't work at all. Sorry I can't be more helpful...

3. give Quintessential Player a shot

http://www.quinnware.com/

It's supposed to be a pretty solid piece of software. I haven't used it to rip any CDs yet, but I know it can... and hey, it's free ;-).

12. Welcome!

The next step to take is to download a new skin to replace that ugly green and black default skin... :)

The Professional version does cost $149, but they do have another version that runs for $35. Also a 30 day trial.

9. I believe it's called dBPowerAmp Music Converter.

www.dbpoweramp.com

As far as I know, it's free and there's no limit on the number of conversions you can do.

Either that, or you can just get iTunes.
