Easy CD-DA Extractor 6.5
I'm very impressed with
Easy CD-DA Extractor. It's a high-performance, high-quality MP3 ripper/encoder. It uses the LAME encoder, which I really like. You can also burn audio CD's directly from the app. A free trial version is available for download, but the full version is $30. UPDATE: Jack informs me that
dBpowerAMP will do the same thing for
free.
