If this is the wrong sub, I apologize, but the knowledge in here is off the charts.
I have hundreds of CDs I’ve collected through the years, and have ripped them to MP3 to play on my phone.
But, I started worrying when I went to replace a CD for one that had just lost its quality, I found out that it wasn’t issued anymore, and would be almost impossible to replace it.
So, now I’m wanting to rip my CDs so that they’re exact copies. I plan on burning my favorite ones to play in my car/home audio system.
I use WMP, and I just wanted to know which format is best, WAV or FLAC, to store them. I plan on using Anyburn to use to convert back to CD audio.
Any opinions?
Thanks!
For years I’ve ripped cds on windows using Exact Audio Copy, and saving to flac. EAC is free and considered one of the best accurate rippers, although you need to take time to set it up.

Many people also recommend dbpoweramp to achieve perfect rips, although this software is not free.
