Not to throw cold water on any particular mp3 ripping software but has anybody mentioned using nero for your mp3 needs? I use it on my L110 with W2K and find it to be the easiest, simplest and BEST such software on the market. I use it on my desktop as well with XP Pro and I again I find it performs flawlessly!
