Um...  Actually WAV/AIFF is more of a PC vs. Mac thing.  Macs like AIFF
(big-endian) and PeeCees like WAV (little endian).  Audio on CDs is
*neither* -- it's CD Digital Audio -- and it's converted to either format
during the "ripping" process.

But no matter if it's AIFF or WAV, 16 bit, 44.1 kHz audio will give you the
best quality you can get to/from a CD audio track.

2 cents.
