How do I convert my CDs to MP3 format?

Picked up a CD rewriter and the software does not do it unless I go "Platinum".

 

I use Musicmatch Jukebox, from these guys . I like it so much, I even paid for it

 

There are a number of commercially available packages that you can use to "rip" a CD into mp3 format. Windows Media Player has the facility to do it too - albeit it's a pretty basic version, without any of the bells and whistles of the commercial software. Still, it will do the job for you.

The WMP Help file explains how to do it.

 

I have over 20gb of music files and can heartily recommend Musicmatch, current version is 7.2 and you pay once for a lifetimes upgrades... well worth it as it looks up the track names for you when ripping your Cds and allows you to even out the volume of the tracks when making you own mxed CDS.

Keep well

I use CDex which is free! It does the track name look up and allows flexibility of mp3 quality seetings according to preferences.

 

I've handed over the cash - Musicmatch it is then.

 

... and another question ...

mp3PRO format - can this be played back on the new Alpine 7893R MP3 unit?

 

Marc,

What unit are using to play the MP3's in your car?

When you get there, look near the bottom right corner of site and find "download the free Realone Player Only" and click it. When the installation window appears, click "yes." The installation will take about 15 minutes with 56k
