What is the best MP3 ripper?

I look for a couple of things in a ripper. Quality, speed, and ease of use. Most rippers on the market today do just fine in the quality area. If you want to be sure you have the very best quality cd ripper out there, check out Exact Audio Copy. The program has a bunch of routines that checks and double checks for accuracy. However the program is not fast and is not geared to beginners. Speed varies according to product but I have been happy with the ripping and encoding combo of Virtuosa Gold. Speed is above average and the encoder is from Fraunhofer, one of the pioneers of MP3 technology. There are two easy to use programs that I recommend for most people. They are Easy CD Ripper and CDex. I think Easy CD Ripper is the easiest to use and it performs a lot of conversions. CDex is also very good and totally free. Both produce high quality MP3 and WAV files.
