I have been using AudioGrabber (with the LAME encoder) for a very long time as my primary completely free MP3 ripper. I personally feel that AudioGrabber is a great, does what its suppose to do (just rip MP3s) - no extra nonsense/bells/whistles that you don't really need, its lightweight, supper fast and also fills in the track names/tags via CDDB.
I was wondering if there are other highly recommended lightweight MP3 rippers that are completely free that's very similar to AudioGrabber that you guys can recommend.
Please, I know media player has these features built in, but I personally hate Media Player. It tries to think on your behalf and quite frankly I despise it. I hate it when software developers develop their software to act and think, on behalf of computer-morons in the world, which is the majority of computer users, which in turn only frustrates the more andvanced user. Hate the library so much. I don't want the freakin library or any of its functions. Just point-click-play, that's what I want! Keep it simple!
