Ok, since I built a HTPC some time ago, I thought I would start ripping some of my cd's to the hard drive. In addition, for a back up, I was thinking about buying one of those portable hard drives with USB interface so I could also take my music with me easily.

What format do you guys rip your music for best quality. I've downloaded mp3's before at 128kbps. Or, would it be better to use some type of lossless format?

Any help would be appreciated...
