EAC with Accurip is the gold standard. There are numerous threads on this topic.
Windows media player 10
I have just started to rip CD's onto my hard drive using WMP10. Is this program capable of ripping EAC or a lossless format. If so how do I know what format it is using. I've only ripped a couple of cd's experimenting, and I don't want to get heavy into it not knowing what format they are being ripped. Are there better programs to use that are free on the internet? I'd like to get my entire collection ripped with the best sound quality. Any suggestions? I'm also open to buying software for ripping if it's good.
