XLD is a free program that I use to rip to flac on my mac. It can also encode to many other formats like wav, mp3, etc. It can do multiple formats at once too. Search around for a tutorial on the proper settings. But if you can't find one, it's pretty easy to configure on your own. The only downside is that it can't burn disc from a .cue sheet like EAC. As far as I know, there are currently no programs for mac that can burn non-compliant .cue sheets like EAC. I use VMware Fusion to run Windows XP so that I can burn using EAC. Hope this helps.
