CD Ripping software


I am interested in ripping my CD collection to .WAV files. Not concerned about FLAC or other formats.

I know Windows Media Player will rip .WAV files from CD, but has anyone used dBpoweramp or EAC software instead? The rippers in this software have claimed advanced error detection strategies that I guess WIN MP does not have?

Would it not ber easier to pre-scan the CDs for C1/C2 errors in advance and use Win MP for simplicity?

Its not like I have any idea what you guys are talking about, but I've gotten together with another good audiophile buddy, we copied redbook and downloaded wav vs flac. Only on the very best recordings at the highest bit/sample rates were there minor differences. Redbook to wav was noticeably better than redbook to flac. Can't tell you why, but we now both drop EVERYTHING to wav.
