Actually, if you had true .wav files, you should be able to play them 
directly - WinAmp, Windows Media Player, Audacity, a whole RAFT of 
players - and converting to another format - why?  Just play the wav 
files; best quality.  Sidebar - if you put a standard audio CD in a 
CD-ROM drive, and use Windows Explorer to view the contents, you'll 
see a bunch of 1k files with the .cda extension.  That's the data 
file.  A ripper program will locate and copy the actual file - I use 
CDex, which will rip to .wav (standard uncompressed PCM), or convert 
to any of several compressed formats following ripping.

CDex is available free at:

Worth checking into - you might be pleasantly surprised.
