What are you using for ripping CDs? What media player do you use?


I want to get away from itunes, I can't stand it anymore.  Can someone direct me to a webpage or link a discussion that would help me decide on a format as well?  Thank you.

A nice feature of Plex with Plexpass is that it supports selection by mood with dozens and dozens of moods available. Sometimes a better way to choose what one wants to hear than genre.  
XLD on the Mac, dbpoweramp in Windows. 

Best advice is Kenny's "What worked for me was to acquire a good knowledge base by discovering the latest trends in digital audio components and setup, from the Computer Audiophile website: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/" Cheers,

Apple to wav,ape to  flac and many others for $38 well worth it.
