Ripping

What's the best (free) program for ripping CDs? I want to rip to MP3, at 320kbit of course.

I've ripped most of my albums, but the free trials that I've used in the past have run out, and most of the programs that I've tried are complete shit (first four tracks only, etc).

Plus, the last time I randomly downloaded rippers, I ended up having to reformat the damned computer.

So, what's the best?

I don't know what you use for burning, but the programs I have used to burn cds also can copy cd's.

Mine (Roxio) doesn't burn to MP3.

CDEX or Musicmatch are the two I have used the most. You'll need to get a crack for Musicmatch to be able to rip above 128.

Windows Media Player is easy and free but it only goes up to 192kbps.

Why the hell do you want all your mp3's at 320? That's a massive waste of space if you're not doing sound editing or something.

I like CDex, personally... though I'd probably just use Winamp if it had had the ripper part when I first needed it. Now I just use CDex cos I'm used to it.
