CDEX
CDEX has a dedicated MP3 conversion website that is constantly trying to improve and develop their products even further in response to customer demand. On their home page you will find an article detailing customer requests for Windows 95 support despite this being an outdated OS which was otherwise thought to be extinct. Nevertheless CDEX answered their call and the development of this support was given some serious study. There's already been more than 32,000,000 downloads of this conversion software to date according to their website which speaks for itself really.
The website design is very simple and not completely alternate browser friendly but it has tons of useful information and posts about the software including screenshots of how it works to help you get to grips with its design.
CDEX offers MP3 ripping and conversion with a large selection of encoders to choose from including FAAC, OGG, Lame, APE, VQF and WMA8. If that wasn't enough there is also support for audio file tags during the conversion process. You can utilize this software with multiple tracks, and receive one of the many great features such as Jitter correction and audio normalization and the best part about all of this is that the CDEX software is absolutely free.
