Boy buys Soundgarden 'A-Sides' CD at Tower..<BR>Boy finds all of his old flannel and revels in the old grunge days. <BR>Boy then I get the JVC KD-SH99 Car CD/MP3 player. <BR>Boy tries to use EAC/LAME ...

I've used EAC to do this. Instead of ripping individual tracks, tell it you want to "Copy Image & CUE Sheet." That will make a single WAV file of the entire CD, then you can convert to MP3 from that.
