    Music CD? Install iTunes and let that rip for you is the easiest way.

    You want to rip a music CD to mp3 or lossless format like FLAC?

    Exact Audio Copy (EAC) or MediaMonkey

    if its a data cd just open it, click CTRL + A (highlights all) then drag and drop files to chosen location you want to save to.

    Or you could have used the built in Windows Media Player.

    You can actually set Media Player to rip to MP3 as its default action when you insert a music CD.
