Ripping CD's

I have many CD's. Would like to copy(rip) my favorite songs from each onto  separate CD's. Create a library on each disc. I know that doing that is illegal if intended for sale but that's not my goal. Just for personal use. Two basic questions.........

1) Is there a certain brand/type of CD media best for music or will any CD  do?

2) What is a good CD burning program (preferably free) to use other than Nero and other generic programs?

Thanks for any suggestions. There are several options with things like streaming but this is my intent now.

btw, when Nero was a one time purchase, I liked the way it worked better than this expressburn.

I realize there are many options out there and I have access to some of those. But......I didn't want opinions of options. My questions were very basic.

I use Burrrn for PC. Nice freeware that'll burn anything to disc. I still like using my old Sony ES changer, has CD text and is lots of fun. I don't think media brand matters that much, have had success with TDK, Maxell, Memorex, and Verbatim. Just get whatever one has a good deal.

CDs: I have used literally tens of thousands over the years of the Verbatim blank CDs. During that time I have had no more than 10 write failures and ZERO read failures.

Ripping/writing software/freeware: I use EAC (exact audio copy). for most of the aforementioned burns.

I have hundreds of these CDs I still play today in my Yamaha CD-S2000 and they play and sound excellent.
