I don't like to put my original CDs in my car stereo, or even in my cd player downstairs. Too many chances for those CDs to become scratched and unplayable.
How to make a backup though? I don't actually want to rip the CD (see other posts for that) to MP3 or FLAC files on my disk.
Use ImgBurn to read the CD to a .bin image file. Then switch modes to write it to a blank CD. Total time is about 5 min for the whole operation.
The only difficult part is making sure you download the real ImgBurn program and not one of the ad-ware apps that have the big "Download" buttons on that web site.
