I've always used exact audio copy (EAC) with no issues. Can be a little tricky to set up but I think there are guides online

dB Poweramp is excellent but is not free...
Another shout for dbpoweramp.
Use that to rip to flac, then into Picard for fixing all tags, drop into Roon.....music heaven
Always like Nero, does a great job
Cdex is pretty simple and can rip to mp3 and flac

I use cdparanoia, though I very rarely have to do that these days.

I assume you're converting Cds to MP3
Media Monkey
iTunes
Out of interest what directory and naming conventions do people use? I’ve never really worked out what is best. Mine is band/album/track. Where track is album-tracknumber-trackname. But in the past I did need to create a new name set for the car SD card when I had it. It’s not that hard if you get the tagging right anyway. But just wondered if there is a “correct” or “optimal” strategy.
What I really should do is re rip to FLAC and use that as a master source
I've been using EAC - been at it off and on for a couple of weeks now. Ripping them all into FLAC for my Hi Res player.
Up to around 250 GB so far !!!

I've used EAC for years for MP3, FLAC & Ogg Vorbis - never had any issues.
Windows Media Player rips to MP3 and FLAC.
What I do is devise a simple lower case identifier for an album; for example Zappa In New York is stored in a folder called 'zappanewyork' with the files named the same way, but numbered sequentially:
I use the FLAC tags to store artist / album / track names etc. Most if not all music player software searches and organises on these so the filenames are not that important as long as they're unique. The script (what)* I wrote writes these to the FLACs as they're ripped from the CD, from information in a text file. It also writes the same information to a MySQL database that I maintain in the Amazon AWS cloud.

VLC media can rip to .mp3, maybe not flac though.
