Good ripping program - no compression

I'm thinking about buying a 200GB external hard drive a ripping about 300-400 CD's to it. I do about 80 percent of my listening while sitting in front of the computer and am getting tired of shuffling CD's. I'm looking for suggestions on a good program to rip with but I don't want to use any compression as I wish to compromise the sound as little as possible.

System:
P4 2.8ghz
M-audio revolution sound board
monarch SM70 class a amp
B&W LM1 monitors
B&W sub

Thanks for the info. I was wondering how Flac compares to Media player lossless compression. EAC looks like a good idea, but being in the computer industry for many years I don't do betas.

I just installed winamp and the flac plugin. Under cd ripping encoders it list AAC V1.00 - is that the flac encoder?

Yeah, I figured out that AAC is not Flac.

Mmrog, Vader007, and Ketchup - Can you rip on EAC and playback on MM (or visa versa). In fact, will MM play anything ripped on another product?

i dont know what music match is, but i bet it would play a wav file. as for playing shn and flac, i dont know that, either.

prpixel, EAC is very widely used and is good. there is nothing wrong with it! i wouldn't let the fact that its beta stop you from using the most fantastic digital audio extraction tool available.
