What the best free mp3 ripper? I want to convert my daughter's cd music into wav. files and then convert them into mp3pro files, then put them into my daughter,s mp3 player. I am using Musicmatch and mp3pro audio player to convert " wav.files" into mp3pro files. Thanks in advance.

Ps. I just try Orange ripper but it did not work.

Yeah i agree, i tried mp3pro & yep it does give much smaller file sizes, but i found the audio quality 2 be very tinny & not good 4 certain generes of music :(

I would use normal mp3 with a high bit rate, like 192 kbs or higher, but that will make the filesize increase as well :)

This EAC seems a little too complicated to me. Are there any other (free) programs that will convert an audio file to an mp3 file?

I can also use CDex, but after using EAC this seems a little bit odd... Finding EAC complex? Simply use the simple user interface... How complex is pressing one button for ripping and encoding? You just have to put lame.dll in your EAC folder, and the rest are really easy... generic configuration needs to be done just once, and in any case you can use ripping end encoding profiles in EAC- each profile at the right time.

What I meant Scarecrow is that EAC seemed to have more functionality than I needed, I didn't actually try it out. Anyhow, thanks roadworker for the suggestion, I tried it out, and it worked fine. However, I couldn't figure out how to convert audio to mp3 for files already on my computer. It worked fine for ripping straight from a cd onto my hard drive, but I couldn't get it to find audio files already on the drive.

Should be under the "convert" option....."convert wav file to compressed audio file",from the new window,just browse to the folder where your wav files are stored and select your preferations.... :)

cd ripper

First,all rippers listed here are good-decent rippers like db feurio,audiograbber,but two are different..cdex and eac..
You should have a better extraction with cdex then with other rippers,but i urge you to reconsider eac againit is a complex as you said..but i can be learned-no questions about that
Cdex got some superb mode for extraction too,but nothing beats secure ripping with eac--nothing is better currently-period.
I had a hard time too with eac first,took some time,but..hey;it was worth it...
Also eac advantages too..
Best cdripper-even can do those copyprotected cds(depend on hardware too)
Great frontend for all compression types(lossy+lossless)
It can rip,encode and tag in one step.. :)
you can go with a ""user defined encoder""and make a custom compression preset you like.. :)
its got burning support too,which works great if your burner is supported
IT can make a real image-copy of your cd(thats a best way of copy audiocds)
It will adjust totally to your drive by analyzing it and finding which mode will work the best for that burner which you got..
And much much more.. :)
Probably all of us had no easy time configuring properly eac first time,but after that is a matter of minutes to do it again..
and as said above,after configuring-you can make a profile,so next time you just load it-and its done.. :)
Also,i would strongly advice agains downloading allready made made profiles from any sites which are offering it;For exampe if a profile got checked cdtext and your burner drive doesent support it,eac can freeze..
You should try to make your own profile,with wizard its so easy,you dont need to know much;Anyway good luck with any of those rippers,if you need addional help,we`ll be glad to help you...
So,go for..make that eac kickin` :)
