Personally, I would recommend SoundForge for your needs. It may be a little more than what you're looking for...

But you can play and edit mp3 files. You can rip from CD to mp3. You can convert all sorts of file types. And it's all standard Windows interface.

Again, it may be a little more than what you expect. But give their free trial a try.

http://www.soundforge.com , I believe

Oh Ya, I forgot that I use lame encoder. It works so seemless with Audiograbber I tend to forget it's there.

another vote for audiograbber with lame encoder. The best without a doubt.

regarding a player without skins, I too hate skins because they slow down the system. I stay away from any program that forces you to have a skin EXCEPT winamp. I believe Winamp is a damn fine piece of software and the skin system appears to implemented so well that it causes no performance hit.

If it's not performance but more colour scheme that concerns you, there are skins available that look like the standard windows.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Currently, I am trying to decide between Cdex and Audiograbber, mostly Cdex is in competition because it is free

Thanks again for all the suggestions!
