$ cdparanoia -B This will create a set of .wav files from your music CD. You can then use K3B / "create audio CD project" to burn them to disk. Or you can do it all from K3B: Copy CD. Yeah, I think you would lose plenty of music fidelity to create a CD via wav files!
Why? Sound in Windows' WAV files is encoded in the same way that a CD is: 44.1 kHz, stereo PCM. There's nothing that would be called compression. So unless you're among the oddball crowd who thinks they can here 22 kHz sounds, this is about as good as audio encoding ever needs to be.
Live and learn, I guess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV: Audio CDs Audio CDs do not use WAV as their sound format, using instead Red Book audio. The commonality is that both audio CDs and WAV files have the audio data encoded in PCM. WAV is a data file format for computer use that can't be understood by CD players directly. To record WAV files to an Audio CD the file headers must be stripped and the remaining PCM data written directly to the disc as individual tracks with zero padding added to match the CD's sector size. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.
