MP3 ripper/decoder

[CHHAS]

I'm looking for a Mp3 ripper/decoder with CDDB access as I'm too lazy to type in the names myself.
Anyone know a good one ?

CDex is what I use.

Thanks

I'm trying out Easy CD-DA at the moment, looks good so far.
My Duron 866 is extracting to mp3 at X4.2 speed.

My vote is for CDex also

<A HREF="http://www.exactaudiocopy.de">Exact Audio Copy.</A> It needs a bit of set up, but the tutorial at http://www.ping.be/satcp should get you going.

Yes, EAC is the thing to use. I was tired having to test-play all the encoded files for knacks,... after encoding them and so switched from CDex to EAC. No erraneous files since then.
It might be a bit slower than other audio-grabbers but then you can be quite sure that you get a correct file - and if not you're at least informed about possible errors.

Sorry to drag this to the top, but I wanted to say that the link to the tutorial LS gave was fantastic. I ripped my first CD today and setting up the encoding process was a snap!

I've been wanting to do this for a while but never got around to it and this made it wonderfully easy.

I can't punch thru the firewall here at work for the freeDB option but I'll give it a go later at home - would be a HUGE timesaver.

Didn't I hear that the CDDB or freeDB was recently the subject of a lawsuit or a big stink over who owns the user-entered data?

Thanks!
