I'll second the suggestion for EAC (Exact Audio Copy). From a sound standpoint, it is the best program for ripping CDs to WAV files. And it's not just cheap, it's free. It may take some adjustements to work on your system, but the results are well worth it.
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.
