I just installed Exact Audio copy for the first time today. The program is a geek's paradise, but once thoroughly configured and tweaked, the rips really sound good. I'm using the latest LAME compression with 256 VBR joint stereo. When I played the sample rips through my Audiophile 2496 sound card in Winamp in 24 bit mode through my Logitech Z-2300 2.1 Speaker System, which is 200 watts and THX certified, it sounded like a mini concert right in front of me! I doubt seriously that Microsoft can match the finely tuned LAMED presets created after thousands of hours of trial and error from a bevy of developers around the world.
Why settle for any MP3 extraction when you can have an exact audio copy? The program has some keyboard shortcuts and it is nearly fully accessible. What is not easily accessible are tooltips in configuration dialogues, which mostly can be accessed with a review cursor or an online tutorial.
