It's about time I started ripping all my cd's and I'd like to have them done at a decent quality but ripping them as WMA's is just going to take up too much space, not knowing much about lossless formats and what is good and what isn't does anybody have a pointer to a guide or two that will teach me what I need to know?

Thanks :)
 
If you search this forum there have been a few threads on it before.

Upshot: depends what you want it for, how much you have, and how much storage you've got.

Personally, I'm using Exact Audio Copy (EAC) to rip my music from CDs, with meta data (EAC can pick it up) and ripping into FLAC (basically WAV (lossless) but compressed). Works a treat, each track is around 10meg I think, which isn't too bad when a 1TB drive is £60 now. If you seach the net there are plenty of guides on how to use EAC to rip to FLAC.

Do you have the guide handy that you used? :)
 
Exact Audio Copy with FLAC.

Storage is cheap, don't skimp on quality of your rips.

You can always transcode to MP3/WMA if you need it for a portable device.
