It's a taggable 'reference' format. As in taggable and a straight CD copy that can then be copied as needed. I do the same thing.
Rip in 24-bit in AIFF instead, to allow for DSP in the future.

Yup. It's basically taggable WAV. Beatport has an AIFF option I use now for lossless EDM.

What's the point in that? The standard CD format is 16-bit/44.1khz. Now if you have SACD (or something similar), then that's a different story..

It's called digital headroom; you lose audio information if you use DSP when you listen. If you don't ever want to do any DSP functions (like equalizing the frequencies or adjusting the volume in the digital domain) now or in the future, then rip away in 16-bit. For SACD you would want to rip in 32-bit if possible.

I didn't even know you could rip an SACD (unless you're talking about recording from the analog outputs, similar to a needle drop).

Right now, I have 806 Songs in ALAC/AAC/MP3 Format.
Back in middle school, my goal was to increase my music library (legally) to 1,000 songs by the end of high school.
I'll probably be able to complete my goal by the end of the next school year.

Yeah I almost added, "but it may be better to listen to the SACD directly from the disc anyways"

Interesting, I never knew that. What programs are there that allow you to rip in 24-bit/32-bit ALAC/AIFF?

Sorry, total brain fart. I meant playback at 24/32-bit depending on your DAC's capabilities for additional headroom when using DSP.
Don't know what I was thinking...
By all means, carry on with 16/44 Redbook ripping!
