If I just open up the CD from the CD reader, I can copy those tracks across to the AK as AIFF files, is that a pretty good format?
Although I would still like to rip the full CD collection via the Mac and store on a separate hard drive for ease in the future, what you reckon is the best App for this function?
Also trying Deezer at the moment...

I've copied a load of iTunes ripped lossless stuff to my SR15, along with a load of FLAC, WAV and DSD files - all works fine. I'm using a Mac too. Without knowing what the problems you are experiencing are I'd guess it could be a permissions issue - Mac OS sometimes bugger up permissions on folders which can manifest as problems copying files between folders.
Android File Transfer for Mac is crap - it's still 32 bit and hasn't been updated for a long time. It crashed on me a few times when trying to copy large numbers of files in one go.
Sticking the SD card into a card reader so that it mounts on the desktop is a good workaround - the SR15 doesn't care how the files are stored on the card so no need to worry about folders and hierarchy.
I ended up buying Commander One file transfer software as from my modest research it seemed like the best option. It works flawlessly. You need the Pro version to mount Android devices (the SR15 runs skinned android obv). Use this code for 30% discount - SVNLBDSC
I dont FLAC as an option with iTunes, I assume their Apple Lossless encoder is in fact ALAC.
The issue was, I ripped the CD as Apples Lossless, then when I drag the tracks to the Android file transfer window ( which where I now see the AK ) the green plus sign instantly changes to red and wont let me copy the file, I can still do it with a workaround but `ill check out Commander One thanks...by the way..are you able to move files around in Commander One so as to arrange folders on the AK ?

I suspect you've discovered another issue with Android File Transfer - the Mac version just rubbish. I believe the Linux version is better and works on a Mac but I haven't tried it.
Commander One will allow you to move or copy files in the AK, create and delete folders etc...
EDIT: meant to add the only real advantage in moving folders about in the device is if you plan to use the Folder view to navigate to songs or albums. For artist view, album view etc all the info comes from the tags - doesn't matter where the file is on the card. I generally use artist view - the only think I don't like about it is it lists the albums in alphabetical order - i would prefer to list them by year of release.
I also have an old Mac G4 laptop with a slow drive which seems to be able to read almost anything, even discs that fail in the newer superdrive on my iMac.

If I copy the same tracks direct from the CD to the Mac the show up as AIFF...?
Whats up?

Copying directly to the computer will just duplicate the file without doing any conversion, so you get an AIFF.
You can convert the AIFF files to lossless in iTunes if you want, without importing from CD.

So are they effectively the same quality M4a and AIFF ?.....any reason why I would want / need to convert from AIFF to Apples lossless?

I find that using my PC and EAC I can rip almost anything, including things that are quite badly scratched, but it absolutely refuses to rip Time Warner things from the early 90s. I've tried different software---even tried using a different OS on the same hardware---but something (copy protection?) about the TW releases from back then just refuses to copy. Which is a pain, because I do 90% of my listening on my mp3 player these days.
