Thanks for the reply, is there any substantial benefit to using AIFF? I plan on just using iTunes for playback, and converting FLAC files to ALAC. I would use WAV or AIFF but want to get the most out of my storage.

Thanks for the reply, I would use dbPoweramp if I could (without dual-boot, looked into that but I don't really need windows for anything else, but thanks for the suggestion) as I have heard it highly recommended by many audiophiles as the best in ease and reliability in CD ripping.

Hi guys, I just acquired a macbook pro and have ordered a 1tb external hard drive. I hope to rip my sizable CD collection in Apple Lossless and play through iTunes (possibly getting audiophile plug-ins in future). I am wondering which ripping software is best? iTunes is most convenient but I want accurate rips(I don't want to rip again), so should I use a program like XLD? I don't have access to a windows machine or I'd just rip with dbPoweramp.
