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.

I use free XLD (Mac), ripping to ALAC.

It depends.  Some people claim that it makes difference for S/Pdif while it should make none for networking (Wi-Fi, Ethernet etc.).  
I use traditional external HD and it is very quiet.

You can rip just one CD you want to listen to at given moment.  You can start playback just after ripping first song.  That way you'll eventually rip all of them and it won't be a huge chore.
