It is pretty easy.

If you are comfortable with iTunes, don't let the Computer Audio Police dissuade you. I think there are better players, but iTunes does the job.

If sticking with iTunes, I would go with AIFF, or ALAC. ALAC will save you 50% in storage space and will sound absolutely not one iota different.

As far as I know iTunes does not handle cue sheets, and XLD will transcode into any location you choose. I am not sure about XLD transcodeing "into iTunes" but you can import files into iTunes when done.

(If using iTunes, I suggest a plug in available from the app store called Bit Perfect. I think it costs $10, maybe more now. It definitely improves the sound)

iTunes does not natively handle FLAC which is why many folks don't use it, except with cumbersome add on programs like Pure Music.

BTW, using WAV with iTunes is fine too.
