Best software for ripping cd's to FLAC?

I am starting a hard drive library to use with squeezebox. I downloaded FLAC and WINAMP. It seems that WINAMP rips to FLAC awfully quickly and I do not see any setting for error correction. I thought that it was through the use of error correction in reading the cd's that gave the hard drive an advantage over really high quality cdp's. Is there something that does a more accurate job?

It is one of the best, if not the best, to do the job. You will need to set it up to rip to FLAC, but it's not too difficult. Check out this site and follow the directions for setting up EAC with FLAC.
