1. EAC
2. Windows Media Player 8 or up. Disable protection in the settings menu.

Re: Newbie Help: Best FREE software to rip and encode music cd's

I've been using Windows Media Player 11 for a few weeks. Seems to work good for ripping cd's. It automatically puts the disk contents into the library with cover art for you. (As long as the disk is factory pressed.)
You also need to remember that this is still a beta version, but free.

CDex is another nice ripping proggy that I use fairly often.

I second the vote for CDex. Haven't used EAC but I want to try it out sometime.
