Everybody's talked about their favorite mp3 ripping tools, and I've never had much luck with any of them. I finally found one that I had luck with: [b]StreamRipper (Command Line version)[/b]. I thought I'd share my findings with anybody else that wants to rip mp3s by making this guide. Hope somebody gets use out of this... Enjoy!
