    I need to instal a simple to use audio cd ripper on Windows 10 either free or paid for. Ease of use is paramount. Super high quality isn't important, once a reasonable reproduction is possible. Recommendations welcome. MP3 is the format I prefer.

    This is well regarded

    but requires some familiarity to get the best out of it.

    Ashampoo Burning Studio 2020 is now free to download from their website.

    Am I wrong in thinking Windows Media Player will burn tracks but doesn't have a facility for ripping?

    Yes you are wrong. WMP will rip to mp3.

    CDex (works on W7 anyway).

    EDIT: NB *** CDex not considered safe! ***

    From Wikipedia:

    The recent reincarnation of CDex has seen a number of sponsored programs being automatically selected during installation with little information about their nature. Scan results suggest there may be a substantial risk to any system these are installed on[5] along with the source code no longer being publicly accessible, preventing independent code review.

    This project should be considered as exploited by the new maintainer and should not be trusted. This project should not be trusted or installed on your machine.

    Not your ornery onager
