I definitely agree with those two. It takes time to rip everything. (I never finished, as I'd start listening old CDs that I hadn't heard for a while, and then a squirrel would by or something.) As long as you rip into a lossless format, you can't go wrong. Find out that you don't like FLAC (or what ever) down the road, it's possible to convert one lossless format to another without generational loss. EAC will guarantee you've got an error free rip too.
