  During my quest to learn as much as I could about various formats for sound
  files, I came across the most accessible and easy to install ripping program
  ever. It's called, Express rip and it's free, too.  It comes bundled with a
  file conversion program which seems just as accessible and costs the same.
  This thing ripped a 60 minute disk in a couple of minutes. It supports
  ripping to 20 file types.  I know my enthusiastic response might be a little
  over the top when many of you have probably heard of this little gem
  already. You can take a look at this and other free software at:

  Cdex is accessible but many users find it difficult to install and
  configure.

  I don't know that Nero has Flac, but it does have Ape.

    Hi.

    If you're looking to retain exact audio copies of your CD's before selling
    them then you'll need to use a lossless format.  I'd recommend lossless
  WMA
    and using windows media player to rip your CD's rather than nero.

    As you're probably aware, next to MP3, WMA is the most commonly supported
    format.  It's also a proprietary microsoft format and I don't see
  microsoft
    going away any day soon so the longevity of the format should be
  guaranteed
    over any other.

    Lossless formats take up around 50 to 75% of the original CDDA equivalent
  so
    you'll need a lot of disc space to hold 650 CD's.  I've currently got
  around
    700 CD's ripped in lossless format and they're taking up just over 270GB
  of
    disc space.  You'll also need to back up your hard drive because if you
  have
    a hard drive failure, you're going to want to get your music back from
  your
    saves.  I currently use 3 hard drives, a master and 2 back up drives.

    WAV files will take up more space than lossless WMA or FLAC files and they
    don't support ID3 tags so I would disuade you of using this format.  They
    don't sound any better than lossless formats either so I don't see why
    anyone would  waste disc space on this format.

    If you use windows media player to rip your collection you'll be able to
  set
    it up to automatically start ripping when you insert a CD and eject it on
    completion.  I don't think you can do this with nero but I could be wrong.

    Regards.

    Kevin
