I don't even know anymore...
For Windows, get EAC/Lame. For Mac, get XLD, which has the Lame encoder built in.
Lame is the best mp3 encoder, and set up correctly, EAC and XLD will get you the securest rips for their respective OS.

I've used dBpoweramp for years:
dBpoweramp: mp3 Converter, CD Ripper, FLAC, Apple Lossless, WAV, AAC, AIFF. Fix album art, Asset UPnP Server
and use LAME encoder.
I encode at VBR -0 Extreme settings.
This!! This is what the official warez group releases use.

Why not just go lossless? Storage is so cheap these days

I don't see the major difference between a high 320 vbr release and lossless flac. I would support flac but not every media player supports flac playback.
what are you listening to high quality music with?

You will hear a difference when you got the sound gear to hear it. I say just start at lossless and reencode from there if you need it in another format
I only use Lossless files for burning a CD or making lossy files.
Foobar with LAME.

Wait so if I just have music on my computer that I'm mostly playing from my iPhone through an aux cord to my car system (kenwood radio with 12" subs) or beats by date studios. What should I do to have the best sound ?

why do people say this? No it isn't. a 6tb drive costs $300. If it were $100 then it would be cheap
a regular 1Tb external costs $50+
