CD to MP3 Freeware

[Bill]

Can anyone please suggest a simple to use program that will allow me to copy
normal audio CD's to my hardrive, then save them as MP3 files ready for
burning when I have a CD full.

I think that's what I want to do. I have just bought a personal CD player
that plays MP3 as well as ordinary Cd's. I want to make a compilation of my
favourite bits of music to avoid having to carry half a dozen CD's around
with me.
Thanks
Bill

Exact Audio Copy is a Audio Grabber for CD-ROM drives.

Features:
- Usage of the Windows 95 and Windows NT ASPI Interface, so both SCSI
and ATAPI CD-ROM drives are supported
- Hidden sector synchronization (jitter correction)
- Secure, fast and burst extraction methods selectable. Fast extraction
should run at the same speed as other grabbers, but is probably not
exact anymore. Burst mode just grabs the audio data without any
synchronization.
- Read error and complete loss of sync detection and correction in
secure modes, as far as possible
- Output of time positions of all non-exact corrections and listen to
these positions
- Copy of ranges of music data, not only tracks
- Automatic Speed reduction on errors and fallback afterwards
- Normalization of extracted audio
- Usage of the Windows Audio Compression Manager (ACM Codecs) for direct
compression e.g. to MP3 waves
- Support for the BladeEnc DLL that is usable like an ACM Codec for
online MP3 compression
- Support of external MP3, VQF, RA and AAC encoders for automatic
compression after extraction
- Batch compression and decompression of/to WAV files
- Compression offset support for exact compression/decompression
- Detection of pre-track gaps
- Detection of silence in pre-track gaps
- Automatic creation of CUE sheets for CDRWin, including all gaps,
indicies, track attributes, UPC and ISRC
- CD player functionality and prelistening to selected ranges
- Automatic detection of drive features, whether a drive has an accurate
stream and/or does caching
- Sample Offsets for drives with no accurate streams, including the
option of filling up missing samples with silence
- Option for synchronizing tracks for non-accurate stream drives
- Filename editing with local and remote CDDB database and cdplayer.ini
support and more features like ID3 tagging
- Browse and edit local database
- Certified Escient ® CDDB(TM) Compatible
- Local CDDB support
- Record and Loop Record functions for recording from LP, radio, etc.
- Automatic rename of MP3 files according to their ID3 tag
- Catalog extraction function
- Multisession (CD-Extra) support
- CD-Text support
- CD-Write support for some drives
- ID3 Tag editor with drag and drop possibility from track listing and
database
- Glitch removal after extraction
- Small WAV editor with the following functionality: delete, trim,
normalize, pad, glitch removal, pop detection, interpolation of
ranges, noise reduction, fade in/out, undo (and more)
- Program is Cardware, so feel free to copy

Oh, Please!

Beta or not Exact Audio Copy is the most accurate ripper arround, so
don't be scared-off by this nay sayer who'd like you to think the sky
will fall if you use it. Been using EAC for the last five years, and
still waiting for the sky to fall.

Thanks for the warning. I think it pretty obvious from my original post I
am NOT an experienced user.

files ready for burning when I have a CD full.

Some time ago I was looking for a good CD ripper and audio converter
and I happened to have a bit damaged Music CD which I could use as a
"test material". There are many physical scratches on that Music CD and
it cannot be played without little pauses in music with my PCs CD
device nor with my CD player. I tried to rip that CD with almost every
CD ripper application available from different freeware sites - there
were many of them. I tried a couple of shareware programs too.

The one and only program that could do the ripping was CDex. Of course
there was little gaps in some resulting mp3 files but anyway CDex could
do the job. Every other program (including EAC) just stopped ripping
with some sort of 'error' message.

I guess it is not hard to imagine what is the ripping tool I would
recommend.

I recommend CD'n'Go purely because it's the one I found a couple of years
ago that I really like. There may be (and probably are) better programs out
there but it does everything I want and is fairly simple to use with no
issues (as far as I'm aware).
