WAV=>CD=>EAC=>(exact same) WAV

[epinhao]

I'm trying to burn a WAV and then be able to extract with EAC or any other program and have the exact same WAV. I tried with Nero but I beleive it converted the song even though it was already a WAV, when I extracted it it was completely different it was at least 1Mb smaller. The I thought Windows would be dumber (I was not in my 5 senses), and tried the built-in burner, obviously Bill did some kind of conversion in WMP to my song. How can i burn it as-it-is?

do you want it as playable CD, i.e. to put in to some stand alone and be able to play it, or do you want to just store the WAV? If the last you could try burning it as Data, then audio processing won't kick in.

CDA uses 44.1 KHz 16 bit Stereo format. I assume that your WAV was at 48 KHz samplerate, and therefore Nero converted it to 44.1 KHz, what explains why it's shorter.

@lexor: why burn it as Data, when he wants to produce audio CD?
