CD to wav?

Is there a program I can use that will allow me to rip from cd straight to wav? because I have Windows media player, but that only allows me to rip to lossless wma and my music software doesnt recognise wma and I then have to convert to wav...

CDex

Cool, I also found AudioGrabber :)

Not that I have tried, but i would have thought WinAMP would do this.

I'm a fan of DB Poweramp myself.

I'm also pretty sure you can set (some) versions of WMP to rip to WAV, but I haven't used it to rip for ages I have to admit.

Thats what I thought, I remember ripping to WAV with WMP, but aint tried with new WMP.

Yea never got into WinAMP.....don't know why. But I now have it working so its sweet! :thumbs:

I used to use WinAMP all the time years ago, but then I built a new system a few years ago and WinAMP caused some kind of bad hardware instability and would instantly crash the whole system when you tried to load it. So I stopped using it and haven't touched it since.

Now for audio playback I used MediaMonkey which is a great music library application, and for audio ripping I use CDex which directly supports the Lame MP3 Encoder, and can also use WinAMP plugins!

I've never tried DB PowerAMP. Isn't it a commercial application? The great thing about CDex and MediaMonkey is you can use them for free!

I remember back in the day when everyone would go on about winamp...I was and still think meh, if you have any software its all the same really :huh2:

It used to be completely free, but now you have to pay for the MP3 codec, which is a great shame. The reason they gave was something to do with a licence fee and some possible lawsuit - don't know if that was just an excuse. But.... well.... :JRflag:

I use media monkey after your recommendation, it's very good. For some reason I have never got into winAMP either.
