Windows Media Player 11 is a great CD ripper. I have a tower with 4 optical drives, and I'm just casually feeding it CDs, with the settings on "rip to mp3 and eject".
Why am I not doing it on Linux, with say, Banshee, and using ogg?
Sigh. My media center and phone are Windows-based. And the minimal configuration necessary is a big help. Banshee did a great job, except when it couldn't find album info. Which would be weird, because I'd end up just opening up Sound Juicer and it would find the album info. But I had a hard time getting them both into the same tagging and directory structure. And then there's the whole "downloading and installing patent-encumbered media formats" thing on Fedora. Some day, I'll just pick up that mp3 player that plays .ogg files and syncs with Banshee, and supports my bluetooth headset that I saw at the computer geeks disount outlet, but won't use because my phone is super-powerful.
Oh, and my CD collection is really dated, LOL. Secular music from the 90's. I spent all my paper-route money on CDs in middle-school / highschool. It has been fun going through it, but sheesh. I should just smash it all with a hammer or something.
