Ok, Simple question. I've been converting LP albums to digital format. It
was
recommended that I convert them to .wav files to insure the best audio
quality. So to insure the best audio quality of my store bought CDs I
would
like to rip them as .wav files also. WMP 9, the first WMP I used, and
WMP10,
the one I am using now , doesn't have that option in the dropdown box
under
the "rip" Tab. Why isn't this one of the options? Can WMP11 do this ? Or
do
I have to use a Roxio or Nero program to do this? I appreciate any
advise
that may enlighten me as to why Microsoft/Windows decided not to have this
option available.

P.S. the only option shown that comes close to .wav is the .wma(lossless)
which isn't really lossless.

There should be an option WAV (lossless). In WMP11 there is, if there isn't
in the 10 version, then here is a freeware work-around for you to use :

You can also use this software to rip to mp3's using the Lame codec, but you
don't need to install it if you're only going to rip to the wav file format.

Cheers,
