I've been using a freeware programme called "AudioGrabber" for many years now and highly recommend it. Any CD ripper won't be really fast, but this programme is about as fast as it gets. It is intuitive, you can add or remove individual track information, normalise tracks etc.
From their site.
Significant advantages:
A nice and easy to understandable user interface.
A good helpfile with descriptions of all functions and settings.
The program is very flexible and configurable and still easy to understand.
It works with almost all CD-ROM drives that can read digital audio.
Last but not least: it is free!
