audio CD duplication software
I'm looking for recommendations. I am in the process of cataloging my music cd collection - I want to put all my original CDs in protective sleeves that are packed away, and then use only the copies in my CD player. Once that is done, then I will rip every CD to both a lossless format for playing on my home stereo, and to some flavor of compressed format for playing on a portable device.
My questions are:
1)what are the best utilities that will allow me to duplicate an audio cd either to another physical cd or to an ISO file?
2)What are the best utilities for ripping lots of CDs to digital format - I want something that will allow me to control/manage the files on disk, and to easily edit the meta information for a given cd. Itunes and windows media player are of course out. I would also really like to be able to control not only bit rate, but also sound levels in the ripping.
I'm just planning this now - no real experience with anything but generic tools, so I am very interested in your opinions and experiences.
thanx much!
