Copy audio cd to hard drive

Can anyone please advise. I am trying to copy an audio cd to my pc but as a wav or audio file. I dont want to save it as an mp3 as this compresses the file and would affect quality. Basically I want to put audio music on my computer and retrieve it with with the same, high quality.

is the audio CD a MP3 file that a friend gave you or did you buy it? If MP3 you have to say it as such. If bought , use MS media player. It will provide the quality you are looking for and you can burn another copy.

Good luck

Also, you could use a cd ripping program.

Uncompressed audio will result in extremely large file sizes that are unwieldly to work with.

An MP3 recorded at 256-320kbps is just about CD quality and is ideal (IMHO) for a multi-media PC playing through a high-end stereo system.
