Yes, EAC will keep trying - good for worn CDs. Lame to then do the
conversion to mp3; it's an add-on, but lots of things have a GUI that
makes it transparent (I use it from GoldWave, but EAC may also have a
transparent way of using it.

We'd need to know what you mean by "best"; EAC is certainly most likely
to work if the CD doesn't read very well. If you mean ease of use, I
can't comment, having rarely used anything - I think last time I did
(which was years ago), it was XP's own default action when you put an
audio CD in (IIRR, it offers a choice of .wav [raw] and some other -
might have been .aac - which it defaulted to). I don't know if 7 has
something similar built in - probably not.

Best as in easy to rip and convert to HQ MP3 files.

I use an old program called AudioGrabber. Still works fine any version
of Windows. Even retrieves song names from online database still
(assuming cd is listed). Also nice one can simply copy the folder to
another pc and run it, e.g. it's portable.

EAC is my preferred program, but setup is very detailed and there are a
lot of options. Once set up it's easy to use. That's great for people
like me who want control over every detail, but from your description
it sounds like it might be more complicated than you want.

For what it's worth, I just downloaded CDex and scanned the installer
with Avast Free and SuperAntiSpyware. Then I uploaded it to Virus
Total, and it found 20 out of 66 virus detection engines found it to be
infected! One of then was Avast, which for me locally said it was
clean. Kinda shakes my faith in malware scanners.

The CDex site smells bad. The links to the source code are dead. Links
to a supposed "help forum" and "open discussion" don't go anywhere. I'd
stay far away.

I once used a program called CDBurnerXP. I just found a web page for
it, https://www.cdburnerxp.se/ so it still seems to be under some
development. I just scanned a copy of it, and my two scanners found it
clean, but Virus Total found 2/66 scanners that found it not clean
(false positives, maybe?)

You may be looking at the newest bloatware version, 1.83SE.
I always get old versions of most things; before the age of adware and installers.
Mine is 1.83. No ads, no installers, clean, 1607 kb compressed.
Add 383 kb for the lame encoder if you wan it. No ads, no installers, clean.

Where are you getting it from? I don't see it on its official web site
(https://www.audiograbber.org/download.html). Am I missing its archive
location?

Bloatware / adware vendors usually don't list old versions
of anything cuz there is no bloatware or adware in the old ones.
OTH, old ones are nearly all 32 bit.

AudioGrabber Version 1.83 so it's 95/98 era at least. Works fine on
Win7.

I've had good luck using https://ninite.com/ for getting clean copies in
the past. It would be interesting to know if cdex from there is still
clean.
