(Money shouldn't be too much, I'm not buying it for her, my parents are)
Also, do you have to have special software to convert songs ripped from CDs to MP3 format, or are they already MP3s on the CD?

As far as I know, most CD's come write-protected now to stop that exact thing happening.
But best bet I reckon would be Winamp:

cdEx works wonderful. I don't have a link, so you'll have to google for it.
And for mp3 players, I have a Sandisk. It works pretty well, and it's much less expensive than an Ipod. It has radio tuner and voice recorder too. As far as I know, Ipod doesn't have those features. Not that I use them much, anyway. With mp3s loaded into the player, I don't need to listen to radio. And the voice recorder, I have some uses for it, but it depends on each person. It works with one AAA battery, though... I think Ipods don't use external batteries.

I'm with Coco. Nothing is better than CDex.
Here's a link to get it. Way better than any other ripper I've ever tried. Fast, efficient and it gives you tons of customization: http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/

And as far as ripping goes, if you're using Windows Media Player, the audio files are probably being ripped as WMA, not MP3. I use Winamp to rip CDs and it does a great job. However, my adoration for open source software is pushing me to try CDex.

Do you know if you can you use it to rip the content of a music DVD into MP3 format?

Hmmm. Not sure about that. I don't have any music DVDs to try out. (You mean DVDA, right?)
