Your sample read settings should be set by XLD automatically. You can change this via the first dropdown in the panel. If you want to obtain an exact replica of the files on disc, make sure that these are set precisely to the image above. In terms of the quality and documentation of the media being ripped, this is the most important configuration panel of them all. If it does not, you can access this by navigating to the XLD dropdown in your menu bar and clicking “Preferences” or using the ⌘, shortcut. When opening XLD for the first time, the application will automatically open to the general preferences pane. Once you’ve installed XLD on your system, continue on to the configuration steps below Step 1. You can begin the setup process by downloading XLD from the developer ( mirror 1, mirror 2).
X Lossless Decoder (henceforth referred to as XLD) is a tool for MacOS that is able to decode/convert/play various 'lossless' audio files. It works on Mac OS X 10.4 and later. Hydrogenaudio has a guide for configuring that software. If you want to rip audio using a PC, I would recommend Exact Audio Copy (EAC). It also assumes you are using MacOS as your operating system.
My preference is FLAC, which will be used as the primary example here. This guide assumes that you intend to rip audio to lossless formats with checks and logs. The following is a tutorial on CD ripping using the software and preferences used in my archiving workflow.
