What do you use to rip CDs and manage your audio files?

I've been using Windows Media Player to rip my CDs, but I only recently found out that the CD titles not being recognized is actually a bug.
I guess drama CDs and bonus CDs probably have to be entered manually anyway...
Still, I'm looking for better software to make the process a little easier.
I'd love to hear what software everyone uses!

Look into MusicBee? It can do ripping.

I always use EAC to rip CDs since its the uploader standard in private trackers, and useful for trying to recover damaged disks. The only "downside" is that it takes a long time to rip with the correct settings.

As for managing audio files, I use mp3tag for tagging info, and MusicBee or Foobar for listening to audio. Foobar is more on the customizable side, while MusicBee is already set up for you with more modern UI.

Thank you for your comment!
I've tried MusicBee, Foobar, and EAC before, but I had trouble getting them to work properly (maybe my PC is the problem ). They also couldn't find much metadata for the CDs I have.
They really do seem to be the standard choices, though. Thanks again for the recommendation!

Ah, when it comes to metadata, most of it is manual input. Especially for drama CDs and niche music CDs. You will have to comb through the CD booklets or hope information is on VGMDB / Official Sites.

I also had to work on a lot of manual input for my Prince of Tennis CDs and more as well...

Ah, I had a feeling that was the case. Sounds like a ton of work...
I really admire all the effort you've put into it. It looks so clean and impressive!
I should keep working on mine too!

FormatFactory. It does fetch track names, at least for music albums. It's free.

I've never heard of it before! I'll install it and give it a try. Thanks!

It's a great programme for conversion too!
