dBpowerAMP Music Converter is a program for converting audio files from one format to another. Part of its formidable arsenal is its ability to rip music straight from Audio CDs or LPs. It can convert to and from Wave, Mp3, and CD Audio (CDA) files.

Granted there are freeware apps that do what this program sets out to do, but you will be hard pressed to find all these powerful features anywhere else joined under a single roof. It's a serious alternative for hardcore CD rippers that use EAC but that's only a small part. The tagging and conversion features are excellent and intelligently arranged in an easy-to-use GUI. It even has the latest, hottest feature: SACD/DSDIFF conversion.
No, I don't get paid by them, and if the author reads this feel free to send a copy my way :)

use mediacoder audio edition instead. dbp had its moments i.e. when it was free.

Buggy and awkward with bad licensing policy changes.
Just use Bonk Encoder - it is free and superior in many ways.

in the old version I used to set the minimum and maximum bitrate for vbr - don't seem to be able to do it in the new version - trying xrecode. Looking good so far.
