I'm about to embark on ripping my cd collection (for the last time!!) ; decided to use the mac platform now that Apple supports the lossless codec. For those experienced in doing this on the Mac- I would love to get your perspective with a couple of issue areas...
1) I assume there's no problem streaming this format via iTunes to other macs or via airport express wireless;
- are you guys storing a separate compressed library for iPod syncing or just doing with fewer songs on the pods?
2) I really don't want to do this 600cd ripping process any more than this last time; so what are you guys using for disk storage - external firewire? massive internal? dual storage systems?
- are you backing up the files with compressed backup?
any other unknown issues before I get to the point of no return?
thanks much
