[Mr_Yogi]

As the title really, which is the best FLAC encoding software which can rip CD's and encode them all in one go?

Cheers

MediaMonkey will also rip FLAC - think you need the FLAC binaries installing to do it...

Being in a similar situation myself a while back, I just chose to rip my 500 CDs just by using the WAV encoder in iTunes.

Whilst I know that FLAC files are about half the size, storage is dirt cheap now anyway?

The selling point for me was that I didnt even have a monitor switched on on my Mac Mini whilst I was ripping. It would rip a CD, order it my artist and album etc then spit it out and wait for me to puch the next one in.

500 CDs was a bit of a chore but reasonable painless, and iTunes and Front Row work brilliantly.
