I use CDex to convert my CDs to MP3s (using LAME with the
alt-preset-standard setting) and then if I need to tweak any MP3 tags I use
the very flexible MP3Tag both are freeware. The only (slight) downside with
CDex is that it gets its CDDB info from FreeDB instead of gracenote which
often seems to lag slightly so if you regularly get CDs as soon as they're
released and want to rip them that day you might want to try something else.
I find CDex is excellent at ripping various artists CDs as it will pick the
bones out of any CDDB listing.

.... of course if you're ripping your collection with a view to mainly
putting it on a Palm you might want to consider eshewing MP3s in favout of
OGGs to squeeze as much as possible into a small amount of memory.
