ExactAudioCopy ripping software



Hi - I'm little confused

Who can recommend which of ExactAudioCopy programs to buy, in order to rip my 1500 CD collection.(bought a Sonos system with a 500 gig HD)
I want to extract the maximum information.

Been to their website, but they have too many products to choose from - please advise.

Plus once I have selected the right one - are their any recommendations regarding the process you might adise?

Thanks
saffy

About how many megs are there on the average CD? I'm trying to figure out if I can save a few dozen of my favorites on my notebook's not too large hard drive.
Herman, you state:
Compressed lossless means when it is played back that it reconstructs the original data perfectly so they are effectively the same, but compressed takes up less space.
This sounds very nice in theory, but does it work in actuality? Will I hear a "loss" of musical information? Isn't there some sort of loss in any compression/expansion scheme?
