Is it possible for me to play an audio CD and at the same time (i.e. concurrently with the playback) rip/convert the played tracks to MP3? If yes, how can I do this on Windows?

Use foobar2000. This ability is already built-in.
- Download & install foobar2000
- Go to File → Open audio CD → Drive settings and enable Limit drive speed while reading
- Click Rip and set up your desired MP3 settings such as tags and destination folder
- Click Play

@Karan Yes, I tested if before posting. Thats why I mentioned the "Limit drive speed option". Without that option enabled, its working too, but not very well.– nixdaJul 12, 2013 at 19:54

So, it seems e.g. Windows Media Player has such a feature (thanks @cbabb!). Although not really freeware/open-source, so the question's still open.

Asking for software recommendations is off-topic so I edited your question accordingly. Why does freeware/open source matter? If you're using Windows then WMP is available to you by default.– KaranJul 12, 2013 at 19:22
