I downoladed this Ripper just to test it out, and I must say it's pretty decent. It is uncomplicated and user friendly. It rips and converts to mp3's very fast, and the quality is excellent. In fact, it may be the fastest I have ever come across, and it doesn't sacrifice quality for speed. I had a little trouble ripping and converting to ogg, as it seemed to hang, but I am still testing it. One other draw back, would be the lack of options for naming tracks, but since it is new, this I feel these draw backs will be addressed in the future.

Overall, I would recommend it as an excellent free alternative ripper.
