Music conversion.

Rip CD to FLAC with Exact Audio Copy (free download) for digital archive. Transcode to MP3 with dBpoweramp for play on your personal devices, use V0 or V2 setting.

Whoever told you the Galaxy S6 won't recognize MP3s is an idiot.

Actually, you can use Exact Audio Copy to convert CD to FLAC and MP3 at the same time.

MY TWO CENTS...

I just want to reiterate that unless you have an AV receiver or Car head unit that can play FLAC (most do not... yet) and plenty of available storage space -- it probably isn't worth the effort to convert all your CD's to FLAC. Additionally, you wont be able to store much FLAC music on any smartphone and it will require an additional media player app in many.

Also many listeners cannot tell any difference between FLAC and MP3... so test for yourself. Rip the same CD in both MP3 and FLAC and listen for yourself, then decide based on available storage, your playback devices, and your own ears!

Yes you can. I typically rip CDs straight to FLAC to archive them, then transcode later when needed, so that's the process that sticks in my head. Just depends on your end goal. I like to have a digital lossless master copy of everything.

+1 for FLAC if you want to archive it on your computer. Usually MP3 is what you want on the phone.

Just in case you have a zillion CDs to rip and a spare tower PC here is a very old video showing just how efficiently it can be done. Note: You can use a single CD PC and it will still work, just not as fast. The part that you want to watch starts at 17:22.
