The software choice depends a lot on what OS you're using. If you're on
Windows, then I strongly recommend dBpoweramp for ripping your CDs. I'm
sure many others on the forum will as well. It uses AccurateRip to
confirm that you get an error-free rip, and if the AccurateRip shows
discrepancies
You'll get quite a few opinions with this.
Personally I use a windows program called dbPowerAmp to both rip and
encode. It is very good about getting accurate tags and encodes to
FLAC on the fly so by the time the CD ejects, the FLACs are encoded
already.
Once I've ripped my FLACs, I then
