Rippid CD Audio WITHOUT iTunes

[chopper]

Trying very hard now to avoid using iTunes for anything as it seems to not make anything more simple to use ... regardless, does anyone have a good solution for ripping CD audio on the Mac without iTunes?

XLD is one that I think people use http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23430/x...ss-decoder

I personally just use iTunes, so I can't maybe give you the best recommendations. Here's another link I found about iTunes alternates for ripping CDs:

Why not use that super simple software your using in place of iTunes?
Assuming you found one of course.

I have yet to figure out what everyone hates so much about iTunes.

I haven't upgraded iTunes in a while, so I can't say I am up to date on the hate. It used to be pretty much everything... except using it to rip CD's.

RealPlayer used to be what I would recommend, but it is now RealCloud and almost as annoying as iTunes for harvesting user information on everything on your hard drive.

I use XLD. Max is another option, but it's always been hit-or-miss for me (functionality, not rip quality).

I have no trouble with iTunes ripping music.

It's the lost interface I mind.

I'm still appalled that I cannot sort and see music using what used to be standard interface options.
