A good OpenSource CD ripper for Windows is [CDex|http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos/].

To make it rip to the [Boxy Standard|CraigBox] for MP3 naming:

!Options->Settings->Generic

ID3 Tag Version: V1 & V2

!->Filenames

* Filename Format: "%A - %Y - %2\%7 - %1 - %4" (without the quotes)
* WAV-> MP3: The directory you want the music to end up in
* Recorded Tracks: As above
* Split trackame using split character: Yes "/"
* Playlist Filename: "%A - %Y - %2\%A - %2"
* Type: M3U yes, PLS no

!-> CD-Rom
* Ripping Method: Paranoia, Full
* Eject CD: Yes

!-> Encoder
* Encoder: LAME
* Bitrate min: 128k
* Bitrate max: 320k
* Quality: R3Mix Preset
* On-the-fly encoding: yes
* Output samplerate: 44100

!Other things

Artist: "The Offspring" should be changed to "Offspring, The" etc

Year: Check the year of the album is correct, this is included in the
filenames

Various artists: Artist should be set to "Various Artists", each song name
should be "Actual Artist / Track Name" and CDex will split these up
correctly. Watch this, some people have entered them into CDDB as "Track
Name / Artist", you'll have to swap them.

Soundtracks: As for various artists, but set the Artist to "Soundtrack"
