Mrs D has just bought an MP3 player for her car & would like to burn several of her existing CDs onto 1 disc in MPŁ format, can anyone recommend some software?

 

iTunes from apple - Is free

 

Edit after reading post properly !

I use Nero MP3s to burn to CD. It'll filter out any files that are not MP3's and will also check each file to ensure its not corrupt. Having said that, any burning software will do it, just burn as a normal data CD.

For CD ripping to MP3 - lots about, but my fave is CDex Free too.

 

I was using musicmatch - but now use windows media player 9 as it's free and works without crashing

 

CDex

 

CDex here too

 

Correct me if im wrong but Windows Media player will extract CDs to WMA format wont it, unless you pay for a MP3 plugin. Not sure tho....

 

windows media player will extract to mp3 by default (I think) - I had to change mine to wma (which is far better anyways)

oops just looked - version 9 does only seem to do wma

 

another vote for CDex

 

MP3 to AUDIO (nero) --- AUDIO to MP3 (easy mp3)

 

You had to get a plug in for pre version 9 as well.

 

HELP!!!
I have taken your advice, downloaded CDex and converted my first album to MP3.
Now, I am a real beginner at this: What next??? Where (if anywhere) has CDex saved the new MP3 files OR how do I save them on to a a CD Rom??? I cannot see anything explaining this.

 

Run CDex & then select OPTIONS - FILENAMES. It should show you here where your converted tracks are. You can also change the location as well.
CDex will not burn a CDROM for you though.

Thanks Darren: found it with your help.

 

Glad to be of help

 

Another vote for iTunes, be it Mac or PC version. Or, a combination of iTunes and Toast, which is usually what I use (to get CD text for 'normal' audio cd's as iTunes does not seem to do this)
