I was installing iTunes for Grace awhile back after she received a free iPod
Shuffle in a credit card promotion... Of course, this means that I needed to
load *all* my music CDs into it so that I could get them in the best audio
format for that particular device... After loading everything on her laptop,
I decided that to keep from having to do this again, I would just load all
the CDs onto one of my machines, but leave the files in WAV format so there
would be no loss of resolution... End result of 2216 songs from all the CDs
and a total of 94G... Now if I ever need to load it onto a device that has a
non-standard format, I just convert from the WAV files... What the
application does with the copy, I don't care since I have the originals...

You can store wave files losslessly in a format called FLAC. They are 50%
smaller then the original wave and don't lose anything. A good tool used
by us audio traders is called Trader's Little Helper. 94GB becomes ~54GB.
You can store those files as data on a CD or DVD instead of having to
extract CDA from an audio CD (very inexact, BTW. Use EAC to rip CD's)
http://thor.prohosting.com/roh0205/
If you want to learn more about lossless music and would like to download
free live shows, here's some links:
http://wiki.etree.org/ (info)
http://www.archive.org/audio/etreelisting-browse.php (legal lossless music in HTTP or FTP)
http://bt.etree.org/ (bittorrent is where it's at, only get clients from their creator!)
Write if you need more info on proper BT clients. You can demunge my email
by removing the DONTSPAMME from every other letter.
Jeeps, music and electronics are a way of life!
