OK...I've finally gotten the storage space I needed at home to begin ripping my cd collection. Problem is I haven't a clue how to rip a cd to mp3.

I'm VERY sheepish about giving up my cd collection, so I want to rip them at the best possible quality, space be damned. If I can hear a difference between my original cd, and my ripped mp3, then I'll be keeping the cds.

So...where do I start?

fyi...

I'm running a WinXP on an Intel P4 (2.4). They'll be stored on a Western Digital 200gb SATA drive (internal). The plan is to play them back through my Tivo downstairs which is "hooked up" wireless to the PC.

Hope that helps.
