Re: [ARSCLIST] software for .wav files

Kevin,

How do you make your CDs?
If it is on a PC workstation, the files will probably be in a WAV
format, so you can copy them straight to any other computer storage
medium, including CD-data, DVD, Blu-ray, streamer tape...
Converting audio CDs back to WAV files (ripping) may introduce some
loss.

Cheers,

Hello all,

This is a follow-up to my format conundrum query a while back.  Thank
you all for offering your suggestions on what I could use to replace
1/4" analog tape for archiving.  I have decided that, in addition to
the CD-Rs that I generate of every original recording, I will begin to
save .wav files to a 500GB hard drive.

Now, my question is, what have those of you doing this found to be a
high quality software to do the conversion to an uncompressed .wav
file?

Thank you,

Kevin Irelan
