Converting cd's to high resolution audio


All my music is on cd's and my reading tells me that the cd itself has a limited shelf life and will degrade over time.
Any recommendations about converting my cd's to FLAC or some type of high quality music files. Not looking for
compressed files.
I see products such as the Blue Sound Music Vault and a Sony High Resolution Music Player.
Does anybody have any thoughts about how to accomplish this goal?

Thank you.

There is NO way to get any more musical information off a 16/44.1 CD! ALL the musical data is locked in those pits and lands! It is a FALLACY to think that upsampling adds "more" musical information! IT DOES NOT! Only a higher bit rate/higher frequency (24/88.2) recording has "more" musical information! So go to HDTracks and download some of their high-rez recordings unto your hard drive to hear better sound! Because you won't get it from 16/44.1 CDs or recordings!
