Is exposing the wavs on the CD any better than a ripping program?

Exposing the wavs on the CD is a ripping program. It's just got a different way of going about the user interface. Instead of being implemented as a front-end, it's implemented as if it were a device driver, and it tricks Windows Explorer into displaying the tracks as .WAV files.

There are advantages and disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that there's no adjustable parameters and you have no recourse if it doesn't work perfectly on your CD-ROM drive.


Another ?, why does a CD have 22khz,11khz,and mono tracks on it?

CDs don't have any tracks like that. The device driver does a trick to make it look like that, but it's really the device driver doing all the downsampling work.
