Lame* is the most popular open source mp3 encoder. Bundled with Audiograbber it enables encoding directly into the mp3 format.
These utilities are excellent for creating digital backups of your CD collection. If you use iTunes, you can then import it into iTunes and carry your entire music collection in your pocket.
*These utilities should only be used for educational and backup purposes.

For extracting audio from a
For extracting audio from a music CD, it may be as easy as dragging and dropping to the location of your desire. Older audio CD's I have experience with are just .mp3 tracks on the disk, so you can simply move them from the disk on to your computer. However, I have tested with Audiograbber and it is one A+ piece of software. Extracting from more complex CD's was a cinch, and I would highly recommend it.
Normal audio CDs contain
Normal audio CDs contain files in WAV format, not mp3 format, although the standard ripping tools such as Windows Media Player, Itunes utils, etc, will read a CD and convert the WAV directly to mp3 or wma format, depending on your choice.
Some modern CD players are able to detect mp3 files on CD and play them normally, and of course that means that instead of fitting in around 20 tracks on a normal CD, you can fit in around 200 mp3 files.
