Need to Rip Music CD's to .wav, .pcm or .aiff formats

I need to find software that will allow me to rip songs from Compact Disc's to .wav, .pcm or .aiff formats. I can't use any kind of compressed audio file.


Any suggestions? Will be using a 2011 Mac Mini with a SSD and 16 GB of RAM. Quite speedy.

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

I just set it for .wav. MP3 files compress the audio and since I will be using the audio files for a radio station via software automation on a Mac, the audio processing gear can create conflicts with the compressed files and the result is a noisy or unclean audio file. Only compression free audio will result in the cleanest possible audio. Thus a .wave, .pcm or .aiff format is the best format for me to use.
