You can use the freeware CDex http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/ to copy
("rip") the music tracks to your hard drive as wav files (perfect quality)
or as high-bitrate (extremely good quality) music files. Later, you can
use the burning software of your choice to burn those tracks to CD-R. Wav
files are much larger than corresponding mp3 files, which are compressed.
If you rip to mp3 at a bitrate of 192 or higher though, you might find it
hard or nearly impossible to tell the difference in sound quality between
an mp3 and a wav file, but let your ears be the judge.

Ian.
