Best program for CD tranfer to MP3

I'm getting together my funds so I can buy my SSL and laptop.....just wondering if there is a program that I should use to transfer my music to MP3. Or should I wait until I get SSL......does it come with an MP3 ripping software?

Thanks,

DJ Allstar

P.S. I not concerned if the program is free or not!

i used to use musicmatch jukebox, it came with my laptop and did a pretty good job.
goldwave is an option (www.goldwave.com) it's pretty cheap and is also a very good audio editor.

SSL has no ripping functions within the software. I suggest using iTunes for your CD ripping. iTunes is free and (best of all) your iTunes library and playlists can be read directly from within the Scratch LIVE application.

try CD EX (cd extractor)

its free and the easier to use one.

keep on spinning!

This is also great

Windows Media Player 10 also gives facility to Rip in mp3 format now!

I recommend www.exactaudiocopy.de EAC a.k.a exact audio copy, it can integrate mp3 encoding, it has secure copy functions etc.

A great program, free and very accurate. It can detect read errors etc.

I suggest iTunes. If you prefer the LAME codec you can D/L a plugin that allows you to import into iTunes using LAME. I don't have the link handy but it should be easy enough to find.

I was using iTunes, very good.
But, now Windows Media Player 10 it came great!

This is what I use (iTunes with the LAME plug-in, see: blacktree.com), LAME is just about the best encoder there is, as far as *sound quality* goes...

I just use iTunes for windows and my mac. Never had one problem with a troubled MP3..
