Converting audio CDs to .wav format

I'm off on a trip to Amazonia soon and am preparing playback tapes using my 
own and commercial recordings. Previously I have always managed to play 
audio CDs on the computer and record the sound as a .wav file using Cool 
Edit. Since then I've changed O/S and added a digital sound card and this 
doesn't work any more for some mysterious reason. I've managed a fix by 
playing the CD with one sound card  and recording it on the second via a 
cable from the headphone outlet on my speakers to the line-in socket but 
this is very clumsy.

I've read here about 'ripping' CDs to the computer hard disk. What simple 
and cheap software is available for PCs?
