What Is the Best CD Ripping Software in 2018?

[SMURFATAR]

Title says it all. Just bought all of Tool's CD's, because that's the only legal way to obtain them. I was going to use Windows Media Player, but I felt like there's gotta be a much better alternative to convert the songs to loose MP3s. So let me know what you guys think is the best free/free trial CD ripping software is.

Edit: It would also be cool if said software pulled all the artists information and album art from the disc.

Exact Audio Copy (EAC) has always been the gold standard for audio ripping in my book -- http/www.exactaudiocopy.de/

It can add the metadata from several sources. Configuration isn't as easy as some tools. It has A LOT of options.

Sweet. It looks to be working, but my portable disc drive is being recognized and unrecognized over and over by my PC when I try to rip the dics. Even in Windows Media player it does this. I guess I will just have to buy a decent one on newegg.

I use dbPoweramp and EZ CD Audio Converter. Some advantages to each. Both can look up metadata from multiple sources. If your discs are a scratched EAC and dbPoweramp can be so anal about getting every bit that they will keep scanning the disc.
