Which of those has worked well for you? Have any of them given you problems? There's a number of software packages listed; I'm reluctant to spend time downloading and trying them when I can spam my f-list and appeal to their experience.
That's one kind of software I haven't tried; sorry. The software I have tried that's listed on pricelesswarehome has included some which was very good; but not all of it has been satisfactory.
I've had great success both with CDEx (GPL-licensed freeware; http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/) back when I used winamp to play mp3s, and with iTunes, now that I have an iPod.
If you're not planning on downloading the mp3s to an iPod I would recommend CDEx over iTunes, but iTunes' integration with the iPod cannot be beat.
Since I don't have an iPod it'd be pretty tough to DL anything to one. (The new Shuffle is in my price range, sort of, but I'm a control freak: I want to know what I'm getting next. Someday the iPod market will saturate and I can buy someone's secondhand iPod cheap. Until then, yay mp3 CDs!)
I DLed CDex and it's working wonderfully. I'm having some problems with scratched CDs giving slightly ugly mp3s, but that's almost certainly primarily a CD quality problem. Also, I've been burning at 160 kbits, using the "high quality" setting; I'm going to experiment with cutting down to 128 and see if the scratch noise gets lost in the general quality drop.
