I've got a question about ripping CD's to my computer and burning copies for my CD player.

What format and bit rate do I use for the ripping. I'm using Window's Media Player. The default bitrate is 128 and the default format is Window Media Audio. Do I want 192K and WAV lossless? And what settings for burning to the CD for best audio quality on my CD player? I don't plan on keeping the ripped files on my computer so file size is not an issue.

Will Windows Media Player automatically transfer the music from the CD to my computer and then burn it in standard redbook CD format or do I have to choose?

By the way, I have Real Player and I have a Nero program as well although nero is not installed.

Thanks,

Larry
