All,
I'm in the process of re-ripping all of my CD's and I have a few Questions before I start... I have always stayed away from AAC and WMA because of copy protection and their for I have encoded at 328kb in an MP3 format...

If you encode using AAC is the file tied to the computer (ie: is copy protection added)? If so is their a way of getting around that??

If you use one of the programs available to remove AAC copy protection do you lose sound quality?

If I encode using the AAC Lossless Encoder is their a way of reconstituting the file back into the wav format without losing sound quality?

Does anyone know of an application that will allow you to put in a CD and then with one push of the button rip the CD in multiple formats (MP3, AAC, WMA) at the same time? By that I mean most video editing programs will allow you to take one source and then export it to multiple formats.

Thanks in advance. - CES
