Re: Can I Cant Cd's To Mpegs Files?

VIDEO_CO · 10th September 2002, 02:24

GOOD DAY ALL!!!-----I WAS WONDERING IF I CAN CONVERT MY AUDIO CD'S TO MPEG FILES. I HAVE OVER 400 CD'S THAT I NEVER LISTEN TO ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY ARE TO TIME CONSUMING. I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A MPEG PLAYER AND WOULD LOVE TO LOAD SOME OF MY OWN CDS.
THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE HELP,
GENE

You can covert them to mp3s- mpeg layer 3s- and just a tip- caps lock = screaming.

Whats a mpeg player...mp3 player?

Thanks for the help, do I need special software to convert to mp3's from a cd? and if so can I find it somewhere on the web for free? thanks again, gene

There are prob. plugins for winamp...but if u r using windows media player 7 or higher...it has it built in

There's plenty of CD ripping programs, as they're called. A lot of people use CDEx, but if you want a fairly simple and well-known one try MusicMatch, or as mentioned, use Windows Media Player.

Thanks again,

Oh man. Stay away from bloatware like WMP and MusicMatch (which isn't free BTW). Get CDex. It's all you need. Small and free.

I agree randman (about CDEx), it is a quality program.

Still, I think for complete newbies to ripping, it *may* be slightly easier to use MusicMatch (even though you can only download a shareware version)... just IMHO though

I doesn't get easier or better than CDEx. If you can convert to ogg files if your player supports them.
