Look here!

Hi.
I am pretty new to lossless, but I already know which to use.
Yeps that right, OptimFROG.
My plan is to use Eac to rip, and MediaMonkey to play/organize.
To me that is the best solution, Eac is the best ripper, right?
And MediaMonkey which also supports frog via a winamp plug-in.
I have tested it all and it seems to work great 
The only problem is that when playing it uses 20-30% of my cpu, which it a Celeron 2,8. So that problem isn't that big 

So what do you think about that combination...?

Cheers to ya all

It is a lossless setup. If you can play your files without any problems it works just as well as any other format/combination. If not, you can just convert to another format.

You are going to use more electricity with a 20-30% CPU load.

[OT]No, I don't think so.  As I understand it power supplies draw there rated watage's worth of power all the time, no matter how much or how little the components are drawing electricity.  However I am not quite sure, could someone please confirm this to be right or wrong?[/OT]
