    This is a neat simple program to burn CDs to your Hard Drive. It beats using Music Match and having the redundancy of 2-3 media players on your PC. I just deleted Music Match since I also have Rhapsody and WMP. Price is nice too (free):

    I tried it. I didn't like it. How in the heck do you uninstall it? It doesn't show up in Add/Remove Programs?

    CDex is my tool of choice. Using LAME encoder with VBR and normalizing on, I can rip at about 8X realtime (<10 minutes per CD)!

    First PC = Vic-20, 8" 128KB Home-Brew Floppy Drive ... Current Rig = eMachines m6805 ... Quantum Leap?

    My point was that Deepburner doesn't take up much space and doesn't add yet another "Media Player" to your computer.

    I am debating whether I even need WMP on the computer since my ISP (Comcast) supports Rhapsody which streams uninterrupted video and music, plays MP3s and allows me to buy songs. I also uninstalled Real Player - which when I used in the past, lead to more spam for me in my personal experience.

    ExactAudioCopy is the best in my view. But its also the hardest to setup. I spent hours downloading new codecs that it supported, just to extract a monkey audio file.
