Ripping CD's

I have many CD's. Would like to copy(rip) my favorite songs from each onto  separate CD's. Create a library on each disc. I know that doing that is illegal if intended for sale but that's not my goal. Just for personal use. Two basic questions.........

1) Is there a certain brand/type of CD media best for music or will any CD  do?

2) What is a good CD burning program (preferably free) to use other than Nero and other generic programs?

Thanks for any suggestions. There are several options with things like streaming but this is my intent now.

Hi Jrpnde,

I agree 100 % on use of Exact Audio Copy to rip. Best software I have ever used and able to rip some pretty bad CDs (flea market and garage sale purchases !). Make sure rip is WAV, no compression or FLAC. I prefer WAV !

Rip to a good hard drive and make a backup (very important).

It then becomes super easy to copy to USB drive or to CD-R after. Can't however help on best CD-R software, sorry!

NOTE: It is not unlawful to make backups of your CD library (or vinyl) as long as you do not sell or distribute the copies and still have the originals.
