>I would recommend cdex ... over dbpowerAMP, but that's a matter of
preference.

I've just tried it - it doesn't have FLAC built in, but seems to code
directly to Ogg fairly quickly.

I tried dbPowerAMP coding to FLAC, but it takes absolutely ages. I'd much
rather rip several CDs directly to Wav, then leave my Wav -> FLAC -> Ogg
batch running overnight. This goes for cdex as well, I think trying to rip
to a compressed format is not practical.

I go via FLAC because for now I want to keep a lossless format, the batch
deletes the Wav and keeps the FLAC.
