Need Help Ripping My CD Collection


I want to get rid of my CD collection but I would still like digital copies of certain albums for when I can't stream Tidal. I was going to purchase an external SS drive to store them on. Can someone recommend a program intended for this application. Is FLAC still the recommended format for storing standard CD quality audio? I'm looking for the easiest solution that will give me CD quality files.Thanks for any help.

x2 for dbpoweramp ripping to WAV (if you have a large enough drive for all your files, or FLAC (sounds virtually identical to WAV).

It also produces bit perfect (error free files), and verifies them automatically - simliar to Exact Audio Copy (EAC). It’s very easy to use and is reliable.

Unless, you’re using iTunes and Mac - then you’ll want to use Apple format files (AIFF, ALAC, etc).
