Is there a plug-in available that allows Windows Media Player to Rip music
from a CD using the uncompressed .WAV format (as opposed to WMA or MP3) ?

Thanks in advance
 
No, but sndrec32.exe will do it. You first create and save a wav long enough (insert several one minute files in a file) then record
over it. You use sndvol32.exe to set the 'recording' property to the CD for input, and start recording to the file in sndrec32.

EAC can do this, but you'll end up w/ very big files (but you knew that,
right?). There are other loss-less means to rip that result in smaller
files than .wav; WMP 10 in fact has a "wma lossless" choice under its rip
options.

But, EAC is still the best ripper out there, tho not exactly a novice
tool.

the links page has links to good tutorials, and search w/ google for other
info sites, EAC is quite popular and there are several third-party
tutorial/tip sites.

You'll also most likely want to mate it w/ LAME:

but it can use just about any encoder out there (ogg-vorbis, etc).
