AudioGrabber is a great free software for ripping audio CDs, and it supports MP3 and OGG formats.
When I insert an audio CD, Windows XP gives a list of options: to play CD, rip it with WMP, rip with Real...
Below is a registry file that adds an option:
"Rip CD using AudioGrabber"
You need to save the text into a file "audiograbber.reg", change the path to AudioGrabber (e.g. "C:\\Program Files\\AudioGrabber\\audiograbber.exe"), and double-click the file.
