I’ve finally gathered together a definitive set of freeware tools for copying and creating audio music CDs for my further listening pleasure.

FreeRipMP3 is great for ripping CDs to the hard disk, and now sports file conversion between MP3 and Ogg Vorbis. Audacity is a fabbo tool for recording and editing audio from external devices such as hi-fi systems and portable players and Burrrn, which I just found the other day, is a really simple and fast proggie which lets you burn audio CDs from your MP3, Ogg, playlist files et al. Arf!
