I have ripped my whole cd-collection using a laptop-pc with an Plextor drive attached (avoiding using the internal drive as choice of drive is important!) to a USB->IDE device, EAC and compressing to FLAC. I used mp3tag with all its possibilities of scripting and batch-conversion to extensively tag the files, such as "Compilation", Disc-number of number of discs, year of recording and all sorts of tidbits you might wanna use, incl album-art. Only problem is interaction with an ipod since it wont play flacs (among other lossless compressed formats). Then a week ago I stumbled over Max and as I use macs (non-intel) it saved my day. It batch-coverted ALL my flacs to a duplicate archive of Apple Lossless incl. tags (albumart and everything). It's nice looking at your collection thru iTunes "cover flow" :-) Of course it requires a lot of diskspace to have both ALACs and FLACs but it's convenient and a backup is always nice anyway.
