Did I make a mistake for purchasing music from iTunes Store?
Seconding basically everything that's been said here, but should you ever find yourself in need of a good file converter, I like and use fre:ac (www.freac.org), an open source Swiss army knife for audio formats.

Hi-SP 256kbps ATRAC3+ or MD-SP 292kbps ATRAC
That's a lot of steps! I believe there's FLAC rippers for Tidal, that may make it easier to use WebMD or SonicStage. I use https://www.freac.org/ to convert from FLAC (which I rip my CDs in) to WMA Lossless (which SonicStage can use) - Web Minidisc can use FLAC directly, as well.

A way to get CD metadata and artwork
You might want to use a tool like https://www.freac.org for the conversion.

Could use some help dumping CDs.
I use fre:ac personally - https://www.freac.org

Hi-SP - any regular users? Only recently gpt this HiMD and today I'm making my first recording, hi-sp via optical from a cd player.
What I was doing when I want 352k AT3+ files was to use https://www.freac.org/ to convert FLACs to WMA Lossless files which SonicStage 4.3 can read, then hook up the HiMD machines, pick the songs/album/whatever, and transfer them at 352k. It does the transcode on the fly but you can pick "fast" vs. "quality" modes, either should really be good but I did "quality" because the 10-year-old computer I'm doing it on should be 2-5x faster than an average computer in 2007 when SS4.3 was released so it's not that big of a deal.

Newbie Hi-MD Question (Roast Anticipated)
If you need to convert FLAC/AAC/ALAC/whatever to a format SonicStage supports (LPCM WAV or lossless WMA) - you can use a tool like the Free Audio Converter (FRE:AC).
-
Transfers are not allowed. [SonicStage]
For lossless or high-resolution audio, I use a tool called FREAC to convert FLAC/ALAC and anything else SonicStage itself can't use to WMA Lossless, which gets you both proper metadata support and CD quality lossless files.
