A good way to take a CD and turn it into MP3 or another format is EAC or Exact Audio Copy which is for a PC using Windows.

This tool will allow you to do more things than you know what to do with.

A good place to start is jiGGafellz' Step-by-Step Guide to Secure CD Ripping w/Exact Audio Copy.

»jiggafellz.isa-geek.net/eac

While these suggestions may not be the best settings for every CD player, but it is a great place to start and will work with most any hardware. You do not have to use all his suggestions, but if you want as close to a perfect copy as you can get, following his guidelines is one way to do it. Further searching on your own may find better (usually meaning faster to complete) settings for your particular hardware (for example, there is no need to test first if you are using the accuraterip function which requires the CD already being in the Accuraterip database) so like with any guide, each person can take and use some or all of the info provided.
