What do we blindies use for ripping CDs on windows accessible??
Just foobar or is there something even better? It's mainly CDs with spoken words/audiobooks.

I use EAC but that might not work as well for audiobooks

Try using this guide. There's lots of options and it can be daunting. Lots of keyboard shortcuts. flemmingss.com/perfect-cd-ripp…

there used to be a piece of software called CDEx, simple as moo, but long, long ago, now I don't know whether it exists.

@André Polykanine @Jonathan I am wondering why you think #EAC is not suitable for audio books? #foobar2000 has secure ripping as well so if you like it it's a good tool. Also cdex has been open-sourced years ago and can still be used. github.com/elha/CDex

I'm using DBPowerAmp. It has a really interesting token system that allows me to name tracks in particular ways depending on the genre etc, and supports identifying whether tracks have been wripped accurately or not based on shared checksums. This isn't free but I wanted something I could rip a load of flac with minimal fuss.
