Since mp3 is a compression algorithm, is can't be "lossless." For the best quality rips of CDs to .wav files, use Exact Audio Copy (www.exactaudiocopy.de). Its cheap and works better than anything else in a microsoft environment.
best way to rip cd files onto computer?
hey everyone.. i'm wondering what is the best way to rip cd files onto my comptuer to play in winamp. Windows media player offers "lossless" wma file conversion, but that won't play in winamp. There is a program that will do "lossless" mp3 conversion-but I couldn't get that to work. Can anyone tell me how I can conver the cd file to a .wav file? From what I've read, that seems to offer the highest quality playback. thanks.
