Ripping software for 2014


I'm beginning to work on moving my music to a hard drive. I plan to rip everything in .wav format. I'd appreciate hearing the pros and cons of the ripping software you're using.

I use iTunes on my MAC Book Pro computer and rip my CD's using the AIFF Format. I check the error correction box and have had no problems.

My albums are being stored on the LaCie 3TB d2 USB 3.0 Thunderbolt Series Hard Drive. I also back them up to a Seagate hard drive.

Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) is an audio file format standard used for storing sound data for personal computers and other electronic audio devices. The format was developed by Apple Computer in 1988 based on Electronic Arts' Interchange File Format (IFF, widely used on Amiga systems) and is most commonly used on Apple Macintosh computer systems.

The audio data in a standard AIFF file is uncompressed pulse-code modulation (PCM).
