Wave is an option as they're the exact same data as on the audio cd, takes up the same amoúnt of space though.

There's several lossless compression formats though which would be better suited as they take up less space on the hd. They will require a plugin to the player to work though.
I use ape myself (Audio Precission Enconder, www.monkeysaudio.com), it's 50% of the size of the cd-audio and the exact same information.
