Just beware, in my experience of this (for research purposes,
yes really!) many, if not most CD images in WAV or PCM format
are in fact decodes of MP3s, and many of these where low bitrate
MP3s which are nasty.

personally I have moved away from compressed audio, not because
I distrust compression, but I like browsing through a pile of CDs
looking for somthing that matches my mood - for me the user interface
is better; perhaps its my age.
