Best Music Cd Ripper

[cool skill]

Does Nero Burning ROM rip CDs from an audio CD?
Will it be able to convert ripped files to mp3?
Otherwise, what is the best program for this?

Right now, I use Windows Meida Player to rip audio CD tracks to my harddrive, but these tracks won't burn onto a blank with Nero.

I think Nero can rip then convert cds to .mp3, but I'm not for sure. I used to use dbPowerAMP (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/) to rip and convert my cds, but since they came out with v10, all it does is mess things up. So now I use WinAMP Pro 5.x to rip and convert my cds, and it does a very good job of it.

OK. I'll check that out.

CDex (http://www.cdex.n3.net/) is very good to rip and convert cd's.
It autonames your tracks,you can adjust bitrates...and best of all:it's freeware :)
I use it myself and it's very userfriendly.
