Neophyle,
I hear you. I'm navigating those same waters and it's taking me time. Fortunately I'm patient!
The Computer Audiophile website is good for this. They've put together a "Computer Audiophile CD Ripping Strategy and Methodology" (found at http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/Computer-Audiophile-CD-Ripping-Strategy-and-Methodology), which I'm following to get started.
They also have setup guides (eg: JC River and Windows 7), but I haven't looked into those yet. It's a good place to get going.
BTW, an apparently very easy way to get into computer audio is with a Squeezebox Touch, which allows to stream wirelessly, play hi-rez, listen to internet radio, etc for $300. This is the initial route I'm taking.
I hope this helps.
