I'm rather new at this so patience is appreciated. I have a large CD collection that I would like to transfer to an external 500GB hard drive, and be able to listen to music in a 'jukebox' type of form through my home audio system. I have a Mac and would like to find a software program that will allow me to transfer the CD's to the hard drive using the best audio comperssion (highest audio quality available - FLAC ?), and securing the CD linear notes and information from CDDB. Any help or input will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
The easiest, and perhaps best, solution is to rip your CD's to Apple Lossless in iTunes.
Imo, its the lossless audio format with best software support in Mac OS X.

Max will rip your CDs to FLAC using cdparanoia so you know you will get the best possible quality.
The software is easy to use and the developer is very responsive.
