Recommend some CD Ripping software?

Hi all,
I just got a new computer a couple months ago, and lo and behold, my stack of new CDs is starting to pile up again.  They need to be ripped and put on my hard drive, post-haste!

I used to use a program called DMB Poweramp music converter or something like that, maybe dB PowerAMP, I dunno... I downloaded it a couple days ago, and the new version sucks the much.  Like, I couldn't even figure out why it wouldn't let me rip a CD.

Long story short, can anyone recommend some ripping software that'll let me easily set filenames and how many k (128k, 192k, 256k, etc.).  Having it be freeware would be great, as would having it be reliable.

Thanks!

Uhm I just use iTunes. I'm pretty sure it lets you set quality/bit rate, but I haven't futzed with it since I downloaded it, and it's been working great for me. Simple, easy, and fast.

kokeyjoe:
I tried using iTunes before, and there was some reason I stopped using it.  I can't remember what that reason was, though...  :|

Maybe I'll download it again and try to find out, hehe.  Thanks.

1. Get Exact Audio Copy
2. Follow the EAC Guide here.

Also, the only acceptable bitrate for mp3 is V0 VBR. (The red setting for LAME in the guide)

kokeyjoe:
I should also mention, by the way, that this ripping is not actually for sharing.  It's just for me to cram as much of my own music on to my 20 gig mp3 player as I can manage.  So, 128k is fine for me, but the ability to switch into a higher quality is nice, when needed (for mix CDs or the occasional swap-a-roo between me and my brother).
