On Windows, the WMP (Windows Media Player) does a fine job, it has settings now to save directly to my music collection on Wenda in /home/music.

instructions on using MP3 format are here https://www.dummies.com/computers/operating-systems/windows-10/how-to-rip-cds-in-windows-10/

I used "abcde" on Debian, works great, thanks to careful tuning of the .abcde.conf file.
