The 31st most popular ripper on Windows
CDex is open source application, that can extract audio from CD (rip it). The resulting audio file can be a plain WAV file (useful for making compilation audio CDs) or the ripped audio data can be compressed using an audio encoder. Many encoders are supported, to name a few: Lame MP3 encoder Internal MP2 encoder APE lossles audio format Ogg Vorbis encoder The Windows MP3 encoder (Fraunhofer MP3 encoder) NTT VQF encoder FAAC encoder Windows WMA8 encoder… More Edit

@Ejrech Read your comment about CDex's ability to extract media information for you rare CD's. The reason for this has nothing to do with CDex really. CDex like most other free and open source CD rippers get their CD information from the FreeDB which is a user contribution supported not-for-profit project to index music. Winamp, iTunes and other commercial players and rippers get their information from Gracenote CDDB which is a commercial enterprise to catalogue music and they get their data directly from the record labels. They then license the use of the database to companies like AOL(Winamop) and Apple(iTunes) etc. So, you can either stick to non free software and the CDDB or you can help build a the FreeDB by submitting your CD information to the FreeDB via programs such as CDex.
Still my 'go-to' ripper. I like the interface and it is very reliable - never known it to die on me, so unlike much paid-for software. Recommended.
My favorite CD ripper, the best there is, uses LAME ENC to encode to MP3
Yet another CD ripper that can't extract the basic track info of some of my rare Japanese CDs. (Which can't even be found via a Google search of their ID numbers!)
Pretty sad that Winamp is the only one able to do so, so far.
Too bad AOL bought them out; it'd be awesome if Winamp went open source.
I use it also it comes in handy
Works great, good naming scheme, would be nice if CDDB lookups were automatic.
Quick, simple, effective, efficient. What more could you ask for? Besides a ham sammich, that is.
CDex is a quick CD ripping program with track name lookup.
