Another vote for PlexTools with Plextor drives. It is very fast,
reliable and rips directly to FLAC. It is actually the only solu

I went through the process of configuring EAC with flac, which I found
fairly difficult and time consuming, even though I followed the
tutorials, but I am

While EAC works with a wider variety of hardware, I personally find that
a high-end Plextor drive with the included PlexTools is much faster and
gives equivalent RIP quality to EAC in safe mode.

I used the following to setup EAC, and found it useful:

Inlcuded in the above is a drive features database, which includes
offsets and other info for many drives.
In case you are not yet convinced, EAC and FLAC are the way to go with

Yea, MP3 will only cut it for my MP3 player. I use a battery-powered
non-oversampling DAC, digital amps, and Magnepan 1.6QRs with biamped

On Windows:
AudioGrabber and LAME if you're doing MP3. Future versions will
probably support FLAC if it doesn't yet. AudioGrabber does digital
extraction and checksums so you know you get your "data". I'm
re-ripping my entire library to MP3 for compatibility with all music
devices. Too much stuff

Wave files lack tags and are bigger then they need to be.
For me it's FLAC files ripped using EAC / flac.exe.

Well my friend - the answer is EAC (Exact Audio Copy) and FLAC.
