I remember using Audiograbber at one point and was surprised to see it was still maintained.

CDex
I couldn't remember but knew someone would post the name.
never used it to rip discs, but it was the very first windows program i used for recording analog inputs to convert tapes and records to digital.
I've got a white whale album. I routinely bought CDs from a secondhand store and found some half-decent techno labeled Amixiam - Dream Frequencies. Quite possibly just some guy's personal work, packaged with a modicum of professionalism. No internet search has ever turned up a damn thing, and I no longer live on the same continent as that thrift shop.
But then - a few years ago - I was going through old CDs, ripping them anew for modern codecs and decent bitrates. CDex filled in the track names automatically. A database recognized the disc! Someone out there had this information! And seconds later I realize that someone was me, sending the data to CDDB automatically, when I had ripped it the first time. I played a fifteen-year brick joke on myself.
That’s awesome. I used to manually enter all the info myself too whenever it wouldn’t come up, back in the day
That's the one. It would pull data from online so you wouldn't have to enter all the track names.
