No converter can fix a bad rip. You need to start ripping with dbpoweramp or eac. Mediamonkey can do most of the things that Itunes does as a library manager plus a lot more. You might want to try it as it's free for the basic version. The pay version is nice but you might not even need it. It's one way to go if you really want to get away from the Itunes world. It works for ipods too but you still need itunes for firmware updates for ipods.
