I use Musicmatch on my windblows box. Its pretty easy to use, has CDDB support etc and the settings are alright. Only real problem with it is that it always want's to wait for something when I load it.. damn sluggish. But encoding is pretty good. get 8-12x cd speed for rips on my Athlon 1.33Ghz (so 5 minute song will take about 30-40 seconds or so, whole albums under 10 minutes, tops). That's with the el cheapo free version of musicmatch 7.1 (and 128k bitrate etc).
