Best CD to MP3 prg

[Mot]

I used to have one, i just cant remember the name for the life of me. I have a bunch of my freinds cd's i wanna put on my computer so i can put them on my Mp3 player and burn mixes etc.

And for the piracy concerns, my friend is a techno dj, these arnt illegal mp3 whorng questions.

I just use iTunes.

you might be thinking of EAC (the program) and lame (the encoder)

there are tons out there though. itunes will probably work fine. 192vbr is a good place to start...

Unless you have an Audigy 2 soundcard hooked up to a bitchin home stereo system, EAC and lame really aren't worth the extra time they take to encode.

well actaully i do lol.. and I found my EAC install.

I have an audigy 2 Platinum hooked up to my 500watt logitech system, no home stereo but still very nice sound system for my room/ computer.

500watt logitech system

ANY computer speaker system = not good enough to warrant the extended amount of time the EAC and Lame takes. Unless you have some Def Techs and an HK, I wouldn't bother.

I dunno, some of the higher end PC stuff sounds pretty nice. it's not like anyone is making MP3s for audiophile equipment anyway.. right. right?!?

EAC doesn't really take that much longer if you have a fast computer anyway ;)

Exactly. I don't understand why people want to make 'high quality' MP3s when they're less than CD quality to begin with.
