Ripping CD's

I have many CD's. Would like to copy(rip) my favorite songs from each onto  separate CD's. Create a library on each disc. I know that doing that is illegal if intended for sale but that's not my goal. Just for personal use. Two basic questions.........

1) Is there a certain brand/type of CD media best for music or will any CD  do?

2) What is a good CD burning program (preferably free) to use other than Nero and other generic programs?

Thanks for any suggestions. There are several options with things like streaming but this is my intent now.

I was thinking 20 years.

Many people have found that they ripped their CDs to a lower resolution format and now realize their library is useless.  I'm not sure if anti pirating software prevents copying the CDA files or not.  I think what you want to do is copy the original CDA file to the new disc.  

Recognize that file copying is different than streaming in that it uses error checking and will make an exact copy of the file so any computer can be used without any loss of resolution.
