can't do it how to CD audio to MP3

[bobobob]

I give up;can't do it.

How do I use winamp 5.33 pro version, registered, to rip from an audio CD to MP3 files.

I have followed the help suggestions, and looked at the best of winamp tech msgs. No go.

I put the CD in the computer; fire up winamp; set output folder and encoder options (output c:\xxx and encoder MP3 encoder v1.32); I see the list of CD files in Media library, select in the left pane Rip&Burn/CD-RW E:; then click "Rip" at bottom of pane; then select rip all or rip selected.

Winamp goes the motions, indicates that it is ripping, but no files show up on my hard drive. I do a full search with Win Explorer, looking for ALL mp3 files. Not there.

I repeat the entire process, but select OGG as output encoder. Nothing shows up.

It sounds like you're doing everything correctly,
except maybe for the "set encoder options (output c:\xxx)" bit.

Either attach a screenshot or copy+paste what you've got as the "Destination Folder" & "Naming Convention" in the "Output File Settings" tab of the "CD Ripping" options.

Hello DJ,

destination folder
C:\ttest

naming convention
\<Artist> - \## - <Trackartist> - <Title>

I created another output folder and tried it again...
Winamp did create the output folder for <Artist> under c:\ttest, but no mp3 file was created.


Also using DirectSound version 2.46

Try changing the Naming Convention to just:

<Artist>\## - <Trackartist> - <Title>


Though I'd personally recommend using:

<Artist>\<Album>\## - <Trackartist> - <Title>
