Thank you. That I know, what I want to do is take separate tracks and make them one track as it is ripping. So far I haven't found any way to do that in Windows but in Ubuntu I found RubyRipper that does what I am looking for.

What brought me to the point of asking was that RubyRipper would not read a CD so I booted into Windows, but what I found was EAC that read the CD thankfully :) now I just got to find a program to merge the individual mp3's.

You already mentioned finding EAC, which can rip as a single file+ CUE sheet, but ImgBurn's Read mode also can do this. And then if you ever want to split that single file+CUE sheet to separate tracks, foobar2000 can do that.

In EAC:
Action menu->Copy Image and Create CUE Sheet->Uncompressed.

ImgBurn is not as advanced as EAC in regard to fetching information about the CD, since EAC can talk to online tagging databases like freedb, whereas ImgBurn only works with the CDTEXT information stored on the CD itself. ImgBurn also doesn't have all the paranoid error correction options EAC does, but past those two things, there should be little difference in what they output.

Although I think EAC doesn't like my BD-R drive, because I just tried using it to backup a CD and the resulting WAV file was silent. ImgBurn's output was fine. Most of the time I just use EAC to grab the info from freedb and put it in a CUE sheet, compare against what ImgBurn generates, and fill in any gaps.
