    I need to re-rip my cds. I did this many times with a Windows PC. Can anyone recommend a great ripping software with freeb and album art embedding?

    Thanks in advance.

    iTunes will do it. There is also Max

    Max will also encode to about anything.

    I would like a little more control over the rip before it's done. Stuff like album art and destination folder. I'm going to be re-ripping thousands of songs and the programs in Windows were less of a headache.

    I really wish Poiksoft had a Mac version of Easy CD-DA available. Software availability was one of the many reasons I didn't try a Mac years ago.

    Well itunes you can change the destination folder, encoding quality/codec, add album art. It also organizes it pretty well.

    Doesnt it automatically find out what cd it is too?
