I was going to use https://cdex.mu, but it seems to be infected with malwares according to:

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.

already happening and watch people tell me it will never happen.

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.

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.
