What are you planning on doing with them? If you're a Mac-only user and use=
the iPod I'd stick to AAC. Plus, unless you're an audiophile (and, it seem=
s most hard core audiophiles scoff at CDs anyway) you won't notice much of =
a difference between your CDs and the AACs.
If you don't have an MP3 player yet, I'd still stick with AAC -- if you eve=
r get an MP3 player get an iPod. Don't bother with third party MP3 players =
since, by-and-large, the software for these other players sucks and they re=
ally aren't any less expensive (they're cheaper).
Also, use iTunes. There's nothing that even comes close to iTunes for ease =
of use, power, and file management.
Of course, YMMV. If you want to use non-iPods, rip your songs as 192 kbps M=
P3s (MP3s aren't as efficient as default AACs) and you're future proof but =
at the expense of disk space.
PS It doesn't really matter for archival purposes since you'll have the CDs=
anyway (at least, as long as you have the songs in your HD collection).
Eric.
