Ripping a massive collection of CD's to your hard disc is a drag, but doing it twice because of skips or errors from damaged discs is even worse. That's why the only ripper we use is Exact Audio Copy. It's slower than other ripping applicantions-and in the case or severely worn discs, agonizingly so-but you'll get the best quality audio possible. That's becasue EAC compensates for the overly-permissive error-correction built into CDs by scrubbing over errors untill the results match after several consecutive reads. If EAC can't rip it, nothing can. Pair it up with the open-source LAME MP3 encoder, and you've gota free MP3 factory that's superior to anything you'll find on store shelves.
