CD Ripper/MP3 Encoder -- 10:29 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I've been digging around for a nice Windows CD ripper/MP3 encoder. The software that came with my burner, ahem, sucks. I think I've found one in Audiograbber. It automatically gets the disc and track names from Freedb, rips them, normalizes the level, and encodes them to MP3s, either through the internal codecs they have or an external encoder like Bladeenc. I've been ripping my CDs to MP3s and then burning them to CD-Rs so I can have sort of a poor-man's CD changer. Now all I need is a car in-dash MP3 player.

The downloadable version is mildly crippled in that it will only rip half the tracks at any given time and the tracks it will rip are randomly chosen at start-up. That's pretty easy to work around though. Still, not a bad deal at all for $25.
