Thanks, I am moving towards that and have similiar usage as you.

For point number 5, EAC and like programs ONLY help when the CD is of
poor quality.  If you are ripping clean scratch free CDs any ripper
should work fine.  Also does Apples ripper now have an option for
"secure" ripping?  I will probably continue to use dbpoweramp for my
ripping needs though.
