Another option..

   1. Burn an image file of the CD.
   2. Put it in a folder, name it by the CD title.
   3. Install a software that allows you to create virtual drives on your
   system (Alcohol 120% or Power ISO)
   4. Create virtual CD/DVD drives on your system.
   5. Mount the image file on the virtual drive and play. Total lossless.

This will help, if you listen music on your computer (Windows / Linux
systems).

Hello Sandeep,

I, too like many rahman fans am very strict about sound quality of
rahman's work. Lossless codecs are the only alternative to WAV. There
are few like FLAC, WMA Lossless,WAVPACK and APE which are comparable
to WAV. You should findout which codec is compatible to your mp3 player...

Also you can have a deeper insight at
http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Lossless_comparison

Some time back, i was also looking for guidance on codec, but finally
i bought myself a portable sony discman. I find best solution for
listening to audio cds.

Cheers,
Niven
