Encoder to convert CD tracks to Ogg-Vorbis 1.1 files using the Winamp 5 built-in CD ripper
Ogg Vorbis is a completely open, patent-free, professional audio encoding and streaming technology with all the benefits of Open Source. It?s currently one of the best candidate to ?mp3 successor?, and its wide increasing support illustrates its qualities and popularity.This encoder allows to rip CD tracks to Ogg-Vorbis 1.1 files using the Winamp 5 built-in CD ripper (free or pro editions). Resultant files are adjustable through a quality setting (-1.00 to 10.00), although an estimated average bitrate is displayed for information.More information about the Ogg-Vorbis format on the official project page http://www.vorbis.com/Ogg-Vorbis files can be natively played by Winamp.

SOOO SLOW!
Ogg, great format, so great infact that all my music is in Ogg. So when i heard about this i was excited, until it got running. This program will do a huge range of bit rates, but the problem i have with it is that its just too slow. Takes an hour to rip a CD to the highest bit rate, which is rediculous when you can get free software which can do the same task in 7 minutes. But if u dont care about time, then i would give it a shot.
