Need Help Ripping My CD Collection

I want to get rid of my CD collection but I would still like digital copies of certain albums for when I can't stream Tidal. I was going to purchase an external SS drive to store them on. Can someone recommend a program intended for this application. Is FLAC still the recommended format for storing standard CD quality audio? I'm looking for the easiest solution that will give me CD quality files.Thanks for any help.

reubent,
I ripped about 800 cds to my internal drive in batches and then transferred those to an external HD via USB. I've since transferred all of that drive to a NAS and play back through an Auralic Aries Mini outputting to my AN dac. I've accumulated many more files since then about 15, 000 tracks.

Yes to flac and I had great success using the cd-rom drive in my laptop and dbPoweramp ripping software. Super easy to use and inexpensive! Good luck!
