iTunes

Go to Preferences - General tab - When you insert a CD .... In the drop down box change to Ask to Import or one of the other Import options

Then go to Import Settings - have several formats you can select.

iTunes for MP3, but it doesn't do FLAC, so I use Max, which is brilliant, and free!

Max from sbooth.org

It handles all formats and will convert files too.

I used Max also - the results even in the same bitrate, etc were noticably nicer sounding than rips done in itunes, imo. It is a bit slower though, but it will actually embed album art in the mp3 rather than storing album art somewhere else like itunes and wmp.
