all in all it only took me a couple of hours with that program so it wasn't too bad. i did try an automated program before but it screwed up badly, putting black squares for most of the artwork and the wrong artist completely for others. this was the best solution i found

I've been using this program as my primary CD ripper for some time, but I was so impressed with the new incarnation ... version 12, I believe ... released last year, that I actually splurged and doled out money for the full version. I was a bit disappointed that they decided to turn the free version into a 30-day trial program, and I can't recall the last time I paid for any piece of non-game, non-OS software (I don't think I'm running any cracked or illegal software atm), so it is really saying something that I put up the dough for this app. Nothing else I've tried on PC comes close.
Needless to say, I second Hemi-Cuda's recommendation of Easy CD-DA Extractor.
