Can any of you guys / girls help me.

I have just bought an Alpine MP3 head unit (CDA7894RB) & changer (CHAS634).

What software to you good folks use to copy CD's to MP3, and where can I get a copy.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks
Darren

Loads of different stuff out there. I use AltoMP3maker, which isn't that common...

http://www.poikosoft.com/easycdda.html is my choice.

Uses FreeDB so will automatically name all the tracks for you.

Thumbs up

I use CDex (personal fave), but have also tried Exact Audio Copy.

Both are free and use FreeDB/CDDB to automatically name the tracks, album name, artist, etc..

On my AMD XP2000+ PC with a Lite-on 48x CD-Writer it takes around 15secs average to copy a 4-5min track to MP3. That's at 320Kpbs VBR set to the highest quality, so if I just burned it at 128Kbps, it'd be quicker.
