This confuses me, as every article and forum I’ve read about BWF states that BWF is an extension or upgraded version of WAV (i.e. However, I am corresponding with dBpoweramp’s support, and when I ask them how to rip to BWF instead of WAV, they insist that BWF is lossy (and is an MP2 files wrapped as a WAV), not uncompressed or even lossless. I was also wondering if you knew much about the format Broadcast Wave Format (BWF), which from what I understand is a WAV file, but with additional information-storing capabilities, and therefore is highly regarded for archiving and professional radio practices by music archivists (for example, as mentioned in Section 2.8.2 in the IASA-TC 04 by the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives: 2: Key Digital Principles | International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives).
My plan is to only use programs that utilise AccurateRip, so dBpoweramp is my first choice, and if that does not work (for example, if a disc is scratched and dBpoweramp has difficulty with it), then other backup programs are Exact Audio Copy and foobar2000. I was wondering, how would you recommend I rip my CDs? I am set on an uncompressed format, so WAV, AIFF, or uncompressed FLAC (I cannot decide between them, so I have settled on all three). I have always ripped CDs, but over the past year I finally clued in on things like audio quality and audio formats. I had a few questions about CD ripping, and I figured you might have some answers.
