How to Extract FLAC from CDs Freely?
When you are considering extracting the audio from your >400, even >1000 CDs,the first format you take into account maybe MP3, which is supported by many devices from portables to car audio systems. But no matter how high the bit rate of an MP3 file, it's still a lossy format, meaning some of the sound quality is lost during the conversion from a CD.
FLAC is a lossless audio codec that doesn't lose any sound quality during conversion, but is much bigger in size than MP3 files. It's also not as widely supported in devices as compared with MP3s, but there are many more of them than just a few years ago. If sound quality is your highest priority, then converting CDs to a lossless codec like FLAC might be worth considering.
What you need
This process still uses Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate. It helps you extract lossless FLAC from CDs without any quality loss at fast speed. Surprisingly, it also can extract FLAC from Blu-ray/DVD disc. In settings window, it allows you to adjust audio bitrate, size, codec, channel,etc to get better audio output.(review)

How to Extract FLAC from CDs fastly?
Step 1: Import CDs
Download and install FLAC Exactor, which includes the FLAC codec. You'll need to have an audio CD in your optical drive in order for EAC to configure the drive for use. Click “File” to add the source audio.
Step 2. Choose Lossless FLAC audio format
Here click the format bar to follow “Common Audio” and “FLAC-Free Lossless Audio Codec (*.flac).”
Tip: If you are not satisfied with the default audio quality, just click the "Settings" icon and choose wanted audio settings including sample rate, bitrate and audio channel.
Step 3. Start extracting FLAC from CDs
Back to the main interface and hit "Convert" to start to extract lossless FLAC from CDs. Once the process ends, open the output folder to locate the generated FLAC audio.
Tips & Tricks: How to Play FLAC Files?
By default, your PC won't know how to play the FLAC files, so you'll need a compatible media player. A few media players worth taking a look at are foobar2000, Winamp and VLC.
1. VLC Player: this media player is available for Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems. The VLC Player installation includes the VideoLAN client that supports FLAC files as well as Flash Video (FLV) and many other file formats.
2. Foobar 2000: the Foobar 2000 media player also supports the FLAC format as a native feature, which means you don't have to go through any additional installations to play a FLAC file through the Foobar 2000 player.
3. Winamp: Winamp was born as a very basic media player and has slowly but consistently improving for many years. Its main purpose was to be completely customizable and through the years, many people have contributed to a library that now consists of over 20,000 skinsand loads of plug-ins.
Note:
Although the Free Lossless Audio Codec offers better sound quality compared to MP3 compression, files compressed using the FLAC codec are considerably larger in size. As a general comparison, an audio file with FLAC compression is approximately 10 times larger than when the same file is compressed using MP3 compression.
