file extentions

[Hinrichisgod]

I just need a little clearing up on audio file extentions. .mp3 is smaller than .wav but is of poorer quality than .wav. If this is so, would it be ideal when ripping a cd to your hdd then burning it to a blank cd to make them .wav? Sorry I'm just a little confused.

wav or cdda are the only formats that sounds as go as the cd (although most people can't tell the difference in the sound when they are encoded at high bitrates). rip them in the wav format and record them from your hard drive

alright so it would be best to change .mp3's to .wav's and then burn them to a cd? Is that what your saying?

rip from cd to .wav if you have to have the best quality. with mp3's the quality will suffer (most people can't tell though)
