EAC/Lame is a great way to rip. Check out the tutorials at www.chrismyden.com about it. EAC isn't the most user friendly program to setup, but once you are running, it is awesome (and free!). EAC is the only program that guarentees perfect rips. It has powerful error correction. I liked AudioGrabber too, but it wouldn't work with Win2K and costs $20.
