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.

ok. stop.

find one of these, which will rip 50 Cd’s at a time.

try ebay and be patient. it’s a commercial quality device built for Kodak Photo stores to copy picture discs for customers. but works great for audio CD’s and is compatable with db Poweramp -ripping software.

I have one. takes about 6 hours to rip 50 CD’s, then unload and load another batch.

2 years ago I ripped about 2500 CD’s over 4 weeks of loading a batch at night, then another batch before work.....5 or 6 days a week.

it will prevent insanity. when I get in the mood again I have another 1500 Cd’s left to rip.
