I didn't because I just left the default settings because there are SOOOOOOOOOO many. Can you toggle from one to another? I think there are 4 or 5 options in the settings.

no, he's ripping the apple m4a (an mp4 format with an apple wrapper around it)
mp3 will play on anything, m4a only apple stuff.
Terry change it going forward.

No, only for what you import after you change the settings.
When I tunes reads the music on the CD, it has to convert it before it can save it on your computer and in your itunes.
So you can start over again, or start where you left off, keeping in mind that the tracks that you already ripped are not universal - can only be played via ituned or an Apple device.
And start keeping your tags up now (how the mp3 is labeled title, artist, track, etc.) I had to go back and reorganize over 3,000 tracks with bad info - not fun.
