Ripping CD's

In my opinion, you can burn the MP3 CD's unchanged to the disc. No advantages to change them to WAV as MP3 is a lossy format. Most probably, your CD player will not play WAV files anyway.

From the manual:The C 546BEE can play MP3/WMA formatted recordings on CD-R or CD-RW discs. You may mix any of the file types on the disc.

BDW, better tagging with MP3 than with WAV files.

i really agree with ghdprentice.  That's the way to go - and then you can also make AAC copies for portability.  If for some weird reason you also need physical copies, any ripping software works fine,  just turn off compression. I have no idea on brands of writable CDs - except that back in th day when i did it they were never as reliable as the original (and when you think about the manufacturign process, it makes sense)

I use two HHB 830+ recorders and have found the best dics for my machines are HHB discs. I use to use Mamm's, but started getting too many dud's. I realize my method is "old school", but for just making compilations of discs I already own, or creating new stuff from YouTube, this works for me.
