| what's the max rate you can rip from a cd? i know the max rate is 320 kbps... but are cds usually written in that quality? |

| the original data uncompressed is 1411.2 kbps |

| so cd's are never compressed... i can rip all of them as wav's? |
|

| right, standard "Red Book" Audio CDs are never compressed and always the same format. Data CDs of course can store compressed music as files. |

| just keep in mind that data rate and sound quality do not necessarily correspond. if you have a track on an original CD, then rip it to MP3, and burn that MP3 as a new audio CD, both CDs will have a data rate of 1411.2 kbps, but the burned CD will actually have the same sound information as the MP3; anything lost in the MP3 encoding process can't be recovered. |

| If you want the best of both worlds as well (Compressed music files with the quality of the original CD). You can rip the files into a lossless compression format such as Ogg Vorbis: http://www.vorbis.com/setup/ |

Flac is great for true lossless at 1/2 the size of a Wav

No only "audio cds" or "mp3 cds"(data)
Flac is just great for lossless storage purposes. |

Vorbis isn't lossless :) |
