Almost. Neither tool will cause clipping damage unless you specifically tell it to. Damage only occurs if the music peaks go over 0dB -- and even then if you're not in the 32-bit floating mode which can survive that. There was a spirited discussion a while back whether to consider Normalize "Da...

If you bought the music relatively recently, then the songs do not have copy protection and you can do this... iTunes > Preferences > CD Import Settings > MP3 Encoder.
