Thanks Michael and Phoenix.

In my car, I have to use the analog connection to my HU since my HU doesn't do MP3 or WMA or much of anything besides CD. It doesn't even play CD-Rs. That's what got me looking at the RioCar to begin with.
However, the digital output might be a cool ised for using the Rio in my primary system since it would allow me to use a nice tube DAC or something like the ackDac.

So far, I have and have used EAC, EZ CD Copy Pro for copying CDs and DVD Shrink and Nero 6 Ultra to rip and burn DVDs.

What ripper do folks like to use along with the LAME encoder?
