So, hardly a Windows format. No, CD audio is *not* stored in WAV format, but rather CDDA (or just CDA). http://www.sonicspot.com/guide/fileformatlist.html http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/faq.html The WAV file format was created by (or at least owned by) Microsoft and its main benefit is that CDA data can be stored without loss. That is not true of MP3 or OGG formats. WAV is merely a defacto standard format for a lossless method of storing (and manipulating) audio data in files on PCs. BTW, the first CD Audio disk was produced in the early 80's, 1982 - Billy Joel's 52nd Street, according to http://cassette.by.ru/history/compactdisc.htm, long before the time of Windows or any PC capable of storing 60 minutes of CD Audio.

I'd stay away from the C-Media stuff. Its really crappy low end hardware. Other than that, you should be fine.
