Preordered one today.
I rip to wav.

 

[bozebuttons]

yes

 

[geek707]

And why do I still buy cds?
I do find having a hard copy of something is something I like. I do find it makes since financially if you can accept 2ed hand. If you hunt eBay, you can find many old and out of "print" cds.
My question to people who do this, is, original or remastered?

Both. I like some remasters. I'm more keen on the label when an album is available on multiple labels. Typically try to get European over American.

 

[WorksUnit]

Yes, with a view to supporting artists.

 

[potatoguy]

Yes, for those albums that can not be found on streaming platforms.

Do you leave them as .WAV? .FLAC would let you tag them at the very least

You're absolutely right.
I leave them as WAV, and the metadata is terrible. But sound good

....there is no difference in sound quality between WAV and FLAC. It isn't physically possible that there would be. They are bit exact.
