Music Server format?

I want to acquire a music server. No experience. What format should I use for storing music? WAV, FLAC, AIFF?
Looking at Sony HAP-Z1ES? Any thoughts?
Do I need to convert CD files to different format to copy to computer?
Web site to learn?

Thanks

Awooof

not daunting if you buy a mac mini, which makes a dandy music server & use iTunes to control everything - it is dirt simple

use a Lossless compression scheme like Apple Lossless, etc.

mp3 is lossy, which means that some of the bits are thrown away -- these are things that are supposedly inaudible, tho many people disagree, so stick with lossless compression for all CDs

you need an external drive to stick the CDs in and you're there

read a wiki on WAV, FLAC, AIFF if you don't want to get into sampling theory
