Hi Nick @Whitear ,
Fre:ac is a CD ripper which can rip to FLAC (lossless) format files which retain the original CD quqality. See this thread How do you Rip CDs to FLAC files to play using Volumio? - #24 by balbuze
I have also used a program called MAGIX which creates CDs from analogue signal from a source such as Vinyl though I haven’t yet ripped those to FLAC files.
Enjoy your new pursuit, Robin
