I just got my first iPod, and I'm about to start ripping my CDs onto my computer. I've been reading these forums, trying to find out what the best audio format is. Most people seem to like this EAC LAME thing, but I have an Apple, and I could only find it for Windows. Is it available for Mac? If not, then what is the best format to use? Thanks ahead of time for any responses.
