Ripping Software

For PC's I use dbpoweramp. It's not free, but not expensive. You can set it on "verify" to check for accuracy. I use the FLAC lossless uncompressed setting for ripping my CD's. For me storage is so cheap, that I don't mind the uncompressed setting (slightly bigger than wav files to accommodate the metadata.)

Same here. dbpoweramp for PC, XLD for mac. Besides the verify mode I use the paranoid (XLD)/ secure (dbpa) mode, that suppresses error correction. The downside is, it is demanding on the hardware and can take a long time to rip CDs that are in poor condition.

J. River has error correction and is also excellent for playback.

But you don't want error correction.

I use dbpowerampcdripper. Works great, never had an issue. Rips to native bit rates so that's handy if you get one of those 24/44 or 24/96 formatted CD's.
I also use secure mode in addition to verify. What I like is that dbpa works in the background, so when I am working on my computer, it can be ripping CD's. I just have a stack of them that when one is done, I pop it out and put in the next one. It is generally quite fast in finding the right metadata automatically from the web, including the cover art. Sometimes the data is in two or more of the databases and you can choose (or mix and match) what track information you want to use, or even edit information as you wish.

There's no such thing. All CD's are by definition 16/44.1
