Free CD Ripping Software

[Karen]

For anyone who might be interested, below are a couple links to free cd ripping software. Both CDEX and FreeRip MP3 can rip CD's to either wave or MP3 format.  Both programs extract the audio data directly from the source CD without going through the sound card (which can degrade quality).  



CDEX --- I've used this one extensively in the past.  The process is easy and the software works well.

FreeRip MP3 --- Haven't used this one personally, but I've read many rave reviews about it through user forums.
