My new computer do not have the software to be able to rip mp3's from my
CD's (it's an upgrade I have to buy). My old computer used Roxio easy basic
5. Does anyone know a good progam so I can rip songs fomr my CD's?

AudioGrabber :

You can also download the Lame codec required to rip into mp3's from this
site.

Their website says I also need an external MP3 encoder. What does that mean?
I am looking for a program to just rip to a file and have it as an MP3 on my
computer.

Grip + GTKpod is what I use.

The process that GTKpod has to go through with the 30G iPod is slow
if your USB port is a type 1(?). Lately I've got a "new" computer
and GTKpod's work is now quick through the better USB port.

The "new" computer was given to me by a guy that found it in an
alley. Loaded Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy on it added Grip and GTKpod and away
it went. :)

With Linux you don't have to keep the MP3's on the computer they can
be deleted.

Grip can also handle .wav files and K3b is used to burn CDs or
DVDs.

I also have iPodder but haven't used it, it's mostly for podcasts?

There are two reasons for that, the technical, and the legal.

The legal reason is probably easier to understand, the MP3 process is
patented and you have to pay to license the patent. So the people shipping
free CD rippers avoid shipping it directly to avoid paying the fees, but
generally they all interface rather nicely with the LAME encoder which is
generally considered to be very good.

The technical reason comes down to keeping it updated. MP3 is an extremely
complex design, and keeping it updated to remain competitive with LAME is
difficult. So they simply outsource the problem to LAME.

Either way has the same solution. Basically what you'll be doing is
installing the ripper itself, then installing LAME and pointing the ripper
to LAME. From there you will only be using one program.

For ripping - use audiograbber or better still use Exact Audio Copy
(EAC). Then you'll need something like LAME to convert the ripped
files into MP3 format. IIRC both apps can use LAME as their plug-in
encoder and can therefore do the whole thing in one go.
 
While you don't say what type of system you are using, but crossposted to
"microsoft"groups, I'll guess you are on a windoze system.

Windows media player is free, and does a half-assed job to get you started.
Just remember to rip to .MP3 and not .WMA format.

CDex includes the LAME files, no extra downloading needed.

There are a zillion rippers, but I use CDex happily and exclusively.

Jepp, used CDex a few days now, mainly for converting into Ogg-Vorbis
format. Nice program if you take the time to get used to it, especially
all that variables for filenames etc.

So does my family and we're all happy with the results. It's also easy to
use and easy to learn to use.
