I have the brand new MBA and I want to convert music from CDs to Apple Music files, how can I do that?

I've been thinking about this for awhile. I have a fairly large Blu-Ray / DVD collection, which I currently use my PS3 to watch on my TV. But I think for longevity purposes, it would be good to have an external Blu-Ray/DVD/CD drive that connects via USB going forward.

Does anyone know of good, current Mac software that will play BluRay movies well?

MakeMKV + VLC

MakeMKV + VLC

Is this the only way? This basically means I need to spend the time to rip the Blu-Ray onto my computer into an MKV file first, beforehand... And then watch it (I already have VLC / love it, have used it forever).

Is there no like, "Cyberlink PowerDVD" for the Mac and for Blu-Ray (lol, I'm probably dating myself...)

Maybe in the end, it's worthwhile to just make digital copies of all my Blu-Rays... but I kind of dread having to do it, hah!
