ALAC. What's the pro and cons of it? It seems to be FLAC, WAV and mp3 nowadays, I do know it's to do with apple, just interested

Is there any way to copy an audio CD to an SSD like a Red Book .ISO so the computer sees a disc that you can rip to any format you want?

Yes you can make an image copy but ripping the cd as an album to wav or lossless tracks would give you all the music to convert to other file formats later.

I agree with Jon. With dBpoweramp you can rip a CD and then convert it to almost any file format you wont, but I'm not sure about ALAC but all the popular file formats are covered.
