I rip all the time. I have a full function pre-amp. Tape out>Mac Mini. As for software, I use: "CD Spin Dr." It was bundled with "Toast & Jam" from Roxio. I've also used "Audicity". Once ripped, I use iTunes to convert the files into a format my portable devices can read. The worst part of ripping is a new cartridges, LOL.
I also rip SACD's, DVD-A's and DVD-V Concerts from my old Multiple Format Plastic Disc Playing Device.
