Try bowsing around the forums before posting, this and MUCH MUCH more has been covered before!

Anyway, in reply to your question, practically any mp3 encoder worth using can encode WAV files.  The best is probably LAME.Check the MP3 forum.

Also if you havent copied the CD's to WAV yet, you'd be better using a ripper to go straight to MP3, check the Software forum,

CDex & EAC = great for CD->MP3

For WAV->MP3, the easiest thing to use is probably RazorLame.

Exact Audio Copy is user friendly. Get that from www.exactaudiocopy.de and read the FAQs and guide. They will get you started smooth as butter! Don't forget to grab a LAME mp3 encoder from Rarewares featured on HA (preferably 3.90.3). And why encode at 320kbps? It will clutter your hard disk faster than you can say Mississippi a couple of times. --alt-preset standard is the prefered commandline and will be equal/close to the same as using 320kbps. I know i've barely even scratched the surface but scan through the forums and take advantage of that search button; its been very helpful for me! Good Luck oh and don't hesitate to ask any questions but make sure you search first!

@mario82:  I'm pretty new to the finer aspects of digital audio encoding myself, and what helped me out a great deal (in addition to reading through HA    ) was this.  If all you want is a ripper that also automates/manages the MP3 encoding process, then focus on the chapters Configure The EAC Options through Configuring The Compression Options, and specifically on the MP3: LAME.EXE chapter.

Also, make sure you download the latest EAC and LAME 3.90.3 as feces1223 points out.

Once you get everything installed and setup, then...

1.  Run EAC and put in an audio CD.

2.  Make sure no files are highlighted, press Alt-G to gather track/artist/album info from freedb.org, then press Shift-F5 to begin extracting all audio files.  As each file is extracted, EAC will automatically kick-off a LAME encoding session with whatever command-line options you specified, up to three sessions at once (or four if you override the defaults).  When it's done. the whole CD will be extracted and encoded to MP3.

Also, to properly volume-level your resulting MP3s, use MP3Gain to adjust the relative playback volume.  MP3Gain makes adjustments to each MP3 file in such a way that *any* player can play them back using the resulting gain (volume) adjustments...no "compatibility" issues.  An extra step, but well worth it IMO.
