Winamp, then LAME to encode.

The simplest way...Use CDex

 

Another way, although a bit more involved, use EAC (?) audiograbber i believe its called....(cant really recall....looking into it....damn meds)

EAC - Exact Audio Copy

Use that to rip from CD

 

 

Then use LAME to encode them into mp3 files.

 

Its a two step process, I know, but the quality is unreal. For WAVE to MP3 Lame has a really good variable encoder

1) Exact Audio Copy (EAC) to rip the cds.

2) LAME (set to variable bit rate, with a minimum of 192kbps).

 

The fidelity is very good, even on home hi-fi's.

 

It takes an around of 2.5 minutes for a 5 minute track; there are faster solutions around, like Audiograbber and Audiocatalyst, but that's just what i use.

MusicMatch.

 

Very fast, auto id3 tagging (which is superb for my DAP 6gb)

I've always used MusicMatch. But I think I'm gonna give EAC and LAME, cuz it sounds like they kick butt. :-)
