Ripping CDs for the tangoDJ
For Windows, I would recommend dbPoweramp or EAC. Both support AccurateRip, which makes sure your rip is good (provided it already exists in the database).
Unless you are really pressed on space, make sure you rip to a lossless format such as flac or equivalent. This way you won’t have to worry about sound quality or ever ripping your music again, as transcoding between lossy formats is not recommended.
If you go for lossy compression (which should be good enough for most purposes), mp3 is most widely supported, aac/wma or vorbis are more modern codecs and in general provide better quality at the same bitrate, at least for lower bitrates.
