Still fearful I may be out mowing the lawn or washing the car and  
approached by a rabid, decapitated foxhead.  It's been twenty years since I  
listened to them.  I don't have my vinyl of theirs anymore.  I can't  remember what 
label they were on.  The same label as the Blue  Aeroplanes?  Fire?

When you make a burn of a CD on Windows Media, does it rip to mp3, and then 
 convert back to wav files?  It seems like I lost some sound quality when I 
 burned some Beatles discs for a friend the other day.  With Nero software, 
 I don't think I lost anything.  It made an "image" and then burned that  
image.

I've already been corrected that wav files are what CDs use.  Still,  is 
there compression going on when you rip a CD to Windows Media Player and then  
burn a CD from that rip in your "library"?

Possibly - depends on what format the "ripping" is set to use.  Check
your Preferences or Options.

Somebody miscorrected you -- WAV files (of the uncompressed 16bit,
stereo, 44.1kHz variety) certainly ARE what CDs use.

If you ripped a CD to a lossy format (like WMA, AAC, or MP3), yes,
when the audio is exported to CD format you will suffer some quality
loss. (This is an oversimplification, but if you can almost think of
it as if the software has to "make up" the data that was thrown away
in the original conversion -- if you think of it that way you can see
how the CD you burn could sound a little worse than the MP3.)  If you
ripped to a lossless format like FLAC you should get the exact same
WAV file you started with, assuming the software you are using is
doing all the work correctly.
