I remember using Audiograbber at one point and was surprised to see it was still maintained.
I remember using CDParanoia on Linux and some GUI for it (Sound Juicer?), CDex and Exact Audio Copy.

I had a CD drive driver that would make windows explorer show CD audio discs as folders for quality levels, and then the tracks as files. Pick the ones you wanted, drag them somewhere, and get PCM wav files of the tracks. Encode them at your leisure. I miss that utility.
Audiograbber for a while, then used Foobar2000 since I always had it open anyway, and then finally EAC because its the best and I am still using it.
dBpoweramp. Always worked really well but the UI was weird. It's bizarre, I have a bunch of CDs I need to rip and was thinking about the topic recently.

I use sound juicer. I used it this month.
I did use AudioGrabber at the turn of the century though.
