I know very little about making backup copies of my audio cd's. I want to make back up cd's that will be compatible with most consumer products(including older systems) that play cd's and I want to use a audio format that is as close or even better in terms of music quality compared to my orginal purchased cd. Also will using the superior audo format take up more data space on the cd-r then your standard mp3 format?

What are some of the better quality cd-r I can purchase at the cheapest possible price? I read a thread where members on this board were talking about qauilty of Dvd-+r disks and which ones to avoid. Does this also apply to cd-r disks as well?

you can't create a higher quality sound from your original CD just by burning a copy of it with high end media...it doesn't work that way. You can't buy a KIA and turn it into a BMW. If you want to backup your audio CDs, just use the Copy CD function on whatever burning software you have, such are Nero, Clone CD, or Roxio. Use media such as TDK, Sony, or Maxell.

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

I apologize if I haven't really made it more clear. I know that you can't improve the quality of the sound by purchasing high end media or whatever. I was trying to ask what is the best "Audio Format" as far as music playback sound quality that is comparative to the orginal cd. I know that MP3 format isn't the absolute best as far as best possible music playback quality and I would like the best that would be compatible with all or most consumer systems and will take up the least amount of data room on the disk.

Also can you encode your "burned copy" of music to playback in 5.1 surround sound as well?
