OGG Ripper??

[Gimli]

Does anyone know a good program to rip audio tracks from a cd to the OGG audio format?

go to http://www.vorbis.com/files/1.0.1/windows/vorbis-tools-1.0.1-win32.zip for the ogg encoder.

Use exactaudiocopy or CDex to rip wav files, then use OggDropXPD1.7.6S
to encode - it uses a hybrid encoder that is tuned for the highest possible quality at all levels (GT3b1 encoder @ or > 5, Vorbis 1.01 <5).

Leuk, why would one use oggdrop rather than using the commandline encoder in the external encoding portion of EAC? Why do things manually if you can do it automatially?

Why do things manually if you can do it automatially?

Because there is no other source of the combined encoder. You either choose Vorbislib 1.01 and get the best quality <q5 and smaller, noisier, lower quality rips at q5 and up, or badly tuned, bloated <q5 rips and MPC quality >q5 rips with the quality-tuned GT3b1 encoder.

AFAIK, OggDrop XPD is the only place where you can get the highest possible quality Ogg Vorbis encodes at every single setting.
edit:
Alternatively you could assign one or the other encoder as the default Ogg encoder in EAC/CDex and assign the other as an external encoder, so long as you remembered which was which.
