MP3 and Ripped, here's a question for you guys....
I actually had 2 questions, well first of all WAV is fine but I always believed that it is never 100% of the original, even the best quality ripped can never be 100% correct?Sorry Grasshopper, that is not true. The format of CDs is PCM. WAV and AI...
