Taking My First Steps


Well, I have just taken delivery of my new laptop. Went with a PC for may own reasons. I want to start downloading my CD collection using Apple Lossless. Where can I learn more about what software I need and what I need to know about using it. I understand there are some nuances here that I should be aware of.

Thanks,

Lawrence.

I think I am becoming more confused. If I avoid Apple Lossless format and use FLAC, what software should I use to burn CDs? Is Exact Audio Copy one of them? Does EAC let me compress song files into an FLAC format?

If I use the FLAC format, can these still be played using iTunes?

Also, I don't know what it means to play a format "natively".

Obviously, I only want to rip my CDs once, so I want to get it right.

Thanks in advance,

Lawrence.
