Which copying and burning format would achieve the highest quality music CD sound ?

handyman asked:


I have been using MP3 format to copy music CD's to CD-R and have found that they don't sound as good as the original.
Is there a format that can copy music CD's to writable CD's without losing any sound quality. If so what is the name of the program and what type of writable CD's would be the best to copy to.
