Free CD ripping software?

[Rusty Ghia]

What do you folks use to rip your CDs? I'm hopefully looking for something that will attach tags and titles and such.

Why so? That's what I used before my PC died.

Thanks.

CloneCD, it won't attach name or title but it can do 1:1 copy.

It's small, free and easy and does what I want it to.

Exact Audio Copy, using LAME to encode. It's widely considered the best option for MP3 encoding by audiophiles. Just take the time to learn how to properly use it..

Personally, I think using anything else is a disservice to the music.

Use Exact Audio Copy/LAME like CoffeeEdge says. It's a little more complicated to use, but it does the job right.

Another vote for this combo. No DRM muss or fuss. Great quality with VBR as well.
