burnt CD's

if I come across a burnt CD that i like i don't copy it because a know a fair bit about digital quality and i fear that if i rip the CD-A into mp3 then i won't actually get the quality i am looking for.

is there a way to find out what the sample rate of the burnt CD was?

44.1 kHz for sure, this is the defined CD-DA standards

well, if it is a CD-I , then it might have lower sample rates

actually, LAME encoder will automatically follow the sample rate of the your samples fed to it.

Any sample rate on audio CD will always be 44 100 Hz.

Do you mean bit-rate? You assume the CD was burnt from MP3s so you fear ripping into MP3? That would effectively be re-encoding to MP3. If this is the case, you are right to fear that.

And if this is the case, use Tau Analyser (Analyzer? I forget) to test.
