MakeCD does AIFF, WAVE and Raw . Lame accepts either AIFF or WAVE as
input.
CDDA

A better option is SecondSpin, it was on a recent AACD. SecondSpin does
the while job in one go, ripping selected tracks from a CD and encoding
them.

SecondSpin isn't commercial, it uses LAME, and it doesn't require PPC
AFAIR. NCoder is commercial but offers no real advantages over the
other two.
