Free software CD ripper for Mac OS X

Unfortunately Songbird cannot import CDs, cannot rip the music and store it, so another tool is necessary.

That tool can be surprisingly hard to Google.

The open source free software CD ripper to mp3 and ogg-vorbis and all sorts of other formats is Max.

cd up another directory or two (one at a time) and ls -la to see.
