Are you running Windows? To rip CD tracks I use a free program called Exact Audio Copy, and to encode the track to MP3 there's another free program, a command-line encoder, called LAME, and a GUI front-end for it called Razorlame. You can probably find these with Google, but if you can't let me know and I'll send you the install files.
