As far as ripping music, I use CDEX, but I'm not finicky on music. I just rip "CD" quality MP3s @ 128 bit. I'm using cheap speakers on a 4 GB Sony MP3 player.
I go beyond "ripping": I go for full lossless archival digital storage so that the original discs remain in pristine mint condition (that's a big reason why I have external terabyte+ drives). That and from those lossless archives I can generate any format directly from them with all tags intact.
Moreso, because the original data is archived, I never have to "re-rip". So if I want to run a restoration on a particular album all I do is hit the digital archives, create a working copy, and go from there.
I'll admit it: I'm an aspie-like audiophile, minus the antisocial aspie tendencies. That and I dig working with audio. It's an interesting hobby among my other hobbies. It's definitely better than booze. :-)
