Try ripping to FLAC, which is a lossless format (same quality as WAV) that preserves tags and is much easier to deal with, in general (plus it has the advantage of being smaller, and it will be easy to detect if one or more of your files ever becomes corrupt...features that are lacking with the WAV format).You can always convert to WAV format later (without any loss in sound quality) if you feel like it, but I highly doubt you'll ever want to (for the reasons mentioned above). As far as sound quality goes, there are some people that seem to have "faith" that a file format that is larger will somehow sound better, but that notion has never been proven in an objective test, as far as I know (although there have been numerous posts here and elsewhere that attempt to explain to these people why their notions about larger files sounding better are flawed).
