I have a few live/mix cd's and I want to rip them to my pc. I only plan on playing them on my pc and not a portable audio device such as an iPod. What is the best format for this. I don't want to rip to MP3 as MP3 isn't gapless which results in dreadful playback. WAV is too big. I hear FLAC, MPC and OGG are other alternatives. Which format is lossless and sounds identical to the original cd. Any help is appreciated.
