Just to be clear, audio CDs aka CD-DA or Redbook CDs, are not
file-structured media and, while the data is in PCM format, it’s in a
format optimized for error correction and sequential sector reading not
wholly unlike LPs (except CD-DAs play inside-out).
 
My favorite true ripper is EAC, Exact Audio Copy. Too bad it’s Win-only.
It’s practically the only thing that I run anymore on my old XP machine
with SCSI Plextor drive.

Subject: music cd in wav to mpg format
 
how do i copy music cd's (wav format) to my hard drive and create an 
mp3 output to one cd to listen on my car radio?

my system is ubuntu 12.10 64 bit with amd phenom 2 chip and 8 gig ram.

as you know, ubuntu uses rhythmbox to play cd's. works ok. it even
finds the cd play list (from the web?) and then displays the name of 
song and author in a spreadsheet-like output. nice.  it can also import
to a 
directory but i can't do it. i can create the dir but nothing gets 
imported. obviously, i can manually copy the wav files to dir in my
hard disk, however, rhythmbox can't find the play list but can play
the copied wav files.

it also comes with cd burner program called brasero. i can use this
to burn the cd but as far as i can see it does not do conversions
wav-->mp3 format. what program can do this?

any web links will be appreciated.
