I Need A Nice New MP3 Ripper Program
I bought a 7.4 oz Sony CD/MP3/AM/FM/Weather (phew) portable player (D-NF610) for travel. It comes with a MP3 ripper proggy, but upon reading the reviews for the ripper on the Sony site, it gets worse reviews than the recent changes in airline ff programs. Any suggestions on a MP3 ripper that really works?

I use a program called CD'n'Go Suite 2.0. Works great, and it's free.

People say Exact Audio Copy is the best CD ripper, and Lame is the best MP3

PS - the Sony ripping software is CRAP.
They build ridiculous copyright protection into it, making it worse than useles...

iTunes for Windows will be another good choice for you.
It's not out yet. Can't comment on when it will be out (NDA). Just keep an ear to the ground and give it a try when it's released.

Not the easiest to use or the fastest, but you will thank yourself later. One day I'm going to be entirely MP3 based for my music collection, and only with 320k/sec rips from the Lame/EAC combination--that way, I don't have to deal with crappy rips.
Even better if you have a drive that can correctly detect C1/C2 errors.

speaking of which, I have an issue you smart people could really help me with: I am running EAC and LAME with an external HP 300 DVD/CD burner. I cannot for the life of me get it to work. Nor Nero. I think it is an ASPI problem. I have tried loading ASPI drivers. No go.
What do you suggest?

are you running it on XP, with a USB 2.0 burner? What kind of error do you get?
