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!

    Storage is cheap now, so the size difference between WAV and FLAC doesn’t matter to some. However, WAV is an old format and was developed before people cared about tagging. WAV has very poor tagging support and you can only tag it in the file name. You can’t add additional details like you can with FLAC. That’s why I would go with FLAC.
