Any recommendations?
Im using the lame plugin for winamp to reencode at a variable bitrate, it works fine but it knackers winamp and puts cpu usage at 100%
I still use and love CDex (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos) the times when I use XP for encoding.
audiograbber with LAME added on. Works ace

mp3 encoder is now on a 30 day trial but I have an older freeware version if you want it.
Rocks, IMO. :)
Exact Audio Copy is the one I used.
free etc...
audiograbber :)
theyll all take CPU usage up to 100%, its just important to make sure its running at lo-priority ;)
I still use CDex too.
All encoders will max out CPUs unless they have throttling built-in. Its a pure processor intensive task, so the more it uses the quicker it gets done.
Make sure you have the latest LAME using --vbr-new, its better and faster.
As you are re-encoding/transcoding you might not see any CPU performance improvement though.
If you are ripping straight from CD and I had that wrong, get Exact Audio Copy and use LAME again.
Another vote for Exact Audio Copy and LAME(On to version 4 now)
Anyone suggest software that does the reverse?

lol :D as you found nero does it anyway.
However winamp has a specific plug in for it (switch output to "diskwriter") and itll write a wav file for every track in its playlist. Damn fast too... so in case you just want the wavs just use that :)
