I'm not an audiophile but I do like my music; if you want true lossless 
ripping, you might want EAC under MS Windows or Windows in a virtual 
machine (VMWare workstation for Linux);

however, grip can be configured to use FLAC;

and you might want to check the lossless comparison Wiki concerning 
lossless codecs;
