About the only CDs I burn these days are MP3 CDs :D
I did burn a Puppy Linux distro last month though.

I usually rip direct to WAV then make an audio CD from those. Then I keep the WAV on a nas for when/if the copy CD goes bad.

I recently bought a couple of remastered/expanded CDs of the group Berlin and was really surprised at how this the aluminum layer was. I know you can see through CDs hold up to the light but these new CDs I could see through even in dim lighting! Made backups ASAP.

What software do you use to rip to wav?
What software do you use to burn your copies?
Do you utilize CD Text?

I too have been backing up all my CD rips to my NAS. In fact, I have imgburn configured to rip directly to the NAS. I even have my PCs configured to save downloads directly to their own specific folders on the NAS.
