Making a backup of my CD's

[Prophet]

I have several CD's which are either very old or are no longer in production.

If I want to make backups of these is there a recommended method and CD make to use of will any half decent CD do?

Great, thanks

I have all my albums ripped to MP3's but since upgrading my system they don't sound as good as the CD's which is why I want to make copies to play.

Would a direct slow speed copy using a standard disk-to-disk copying program not work just as good as ripping to wav or am I missing something?
