can you recommend CD ripping software?

[psychobuck]

first off, sorry if this is in the wrong section. this seemed like the most appropriate area. anyway, i used to use musicmatch to burn my cds to my pc. i have a new computer now and no longer have access to my musicmatch software. can anyone recommend a similar program? i just want to be able to rip them to my hard drive as fast as possible. if theres a program that looks up the cd info so that i dont have to manually type it in, even better!
obviously, the cheaper the software the better. thanks!

2) i was asking if anyone could recommend specific programs. thanks for the link to cnet but i wanted specific recommendations.

It has a fast mode, but that's not the point. EAC sacrifices speed for accuracy. I've never had a bad rip.

Windows Media Player always worked fine for me.

I second EAC. It is a wonderful piece of software.

I used to like cdEX back in the day, and it was free, but I don't know if it's still around.

Its still around. That was my favorite tool to rip CD's too. Now I just use my Zune software.

EAC + LAME = perfection

I use foobar and rip to flac. Not the fastest, but I want the best quality.
