I suggest xACT (http://xact.scottcbrown.org/), that is actually a GUI for a bunch of open source applications. Easy to use and it just works. Source: over 1 year ago

Did the same on my Mac years ago: 1) ALAC, 2) XLD or xACT (http://xact.scottcbrown.org), 3) Apple USB CD (if you can find it somewhere). Source: about 2 years ago

Hmm. If you're on Mac maybe try xACT. My process is copy the AIFF files directly from the disc in Finder to my desktop and then drag those into the app in the encode tab with Apple Lossless checked for ALAC. Haven't had an issue since I've been doing it that way. Source: over 2 years ago

I've searched online for a good way to rip them with as little quality loss as possible and I've found this dBpoweramp and Exact Audio Copy to be the gold standard but I can't quite decide on what's best or even if there's an even better option. I should also note that I'm quite technical and not... Source: over 1 year ago

If you're interested in helping out, I suggest using Exact Audio Copy and configuring it according to this guide here, though I totally understand if you don't want to do this. Source: almost 2 years ago

If that sounds like something you're OK with doing, I suggest using https://exactaudiocopy.de and configuring it accordingly to https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b1JJsuZj2TdiXs--XDvuKdhFUdKCdB_1qrmOMGkyveg/. Source: almost 2 years ago
