Best way to rip CD's
Posted by: MontyMusic on 24 January 2010
All,
I've just purchased an Apple Time Machine in order to store my music files.
I was about to rip into iTunes (apple lossless) but have read bits on this forum and others that FLAC is a better format. (I've ripped in 320kbps mp3 before and want to upgrade)
You've no doubt been asked a million times but what is the best Mac software to use to rip and play these files. Everything I've come across on the www seems very complex. I use iTunes normally but I understand FLAC can't be ripped here. I like the fact that iTunes tags and files the songs for me. Is there a similar program (which doesn't cost the earth) that can do what iTunes does with FLAC? Does FLAC really sound better than apple lossless?
I just need pointing in the right direction. I don't want to spend weeks ripping files only to find a better way later....!
Thanks
