Ok, I know compressed audio formats are not a hot topic around here, but my daughter abandoned her mp3 player for an ipod, and I decided to try the mp3 for myself.

I am using Windows Media Player to rip my CD's for the MP3 player. Media Center allows me to rip into mp3 format or Windows Media Audio (WMA) format. My mp3 player uses either format. Is there any advantage to one format over the other?

Also, Media Player has a WAV (lossless) option for ripping CD's. I assume that won't work on an mp3 player, but is that a truly lossless way to copy music CD's without any compression?
