Bit rates, music distribution and flac files

This thread is about the Lite-On DH-20A3P. Click here to see full specs

Hi folks, I am getting ready to do a few marketing jobs for some musicians. My question is... what is the cleanest way to convert music(.cda) to flac... and what should I watch out for.

The premise is of course, lossless, drm free music offered via different download vehicles (direct, p2p, etc).

Questions:

1. Best app to use
2. Bit rate considerations
3. Should I use flac? I think I should use flac but I am guessing I will need to provide plugins for various media players. Does the peanut gallery know what a flac file is?
4. Another consideration is portability to mobile devices like an ipod. How should I approach this.

thanks for help,
Nigel

Edit: hope this is in the right forum... hardware is academic really, I just clicked one.

Re: Bit rates, music distribution and flac files

If I were you I'd just use a high bitrate MP3. A lot more people and devices can handle MP3 than FLAC, and frankly if I were buying music I wouldn't want to hassle with transcoding to put it in my iThing. But if you want to use FLAC a lot of computer media players already handle it.
