I love dbpoweramp: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/download.htm

It's free but the paid version is worth it if you have a multicore processor.

Another great and free alternative is EAC: http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/

However, you'll need to manually install the lame MP3 codes which is quite easy. You need the Lame MP3 codec: http://lame.sourceforge.net/download.php. Then, when you set up EAC, you just point to where the codec is installed.

Both dbpoweramp and EAC will can connect online to give you a track listing for the cd. You'll need to set up the options on either program so they get numbered correctly.

If you need any help, just let me know.

I use CDex. It's free.

I use Audiograbber with the LAME MP3 encoder (both free). It grabs the info from Freedb online & has almost always had title/song names (out of 400 discs of mine, probably only 3 weren't in there).
