I've been reading up as much as I can on digital audio as it's time to head in that direction.
First things first. I suspect I'll look into a SalkPlayer with a built in hard drive here at some point. But I wanted to get started with ripping CDs.
Sounds like FLAC is the way to go. I have an Apple MacBook Pro with a 500GB hard drive that I can dedicate most of that space for CD's for now.
What software program should I use, and I assume I can avoid ripping into ITunes somehow? (assuming I should keep things out of itunes?)
Thanks, any advice on getting started would be great. Guessing I could feed my Oppo 103 from the Mac also, but really just want to start ripping files in the right format for now in a manner that I can easily transfer them to a hard drive later.
