Question

Just bought my daughter a SONY D-CJ01 CD/MP3 player, very nice it is too

Now, I have just realised that it will not recognise WMA files - the type that Windows Media Player records!! I cannot record MP3's using Windows Media Player!!

I have NERO CD Burning software and it does not appear to be able to save files on the HD as MP3's Either???!!!

I can download a free ripper from the internet, I know, but which one should I use - NOTE:- I do NOT want it to invade all of my audio files, I need it to just sit there passive until required to do a job - as I prefer Windows Media Player to play all my audio/video. Anyone know of a Windows Media Player download that allows WMP to rip as MP3 files??

I will post this in computers as well, but wanted a fast response - sorry mods (will you forgive me??!!)

Any help appreciated

Save them as MP3 by default. Windows Media Player can play MP3's quite well.

No - I'm on about in future.

The only way I think you can convert to MP3 is to drag / drop using Nero and make a normal audio CD. Then use a mp3 ripping program like musicmatch jukebox or CDEX.

The only other way i can think of is to use total Recorder or something like that.

Pete,

AFAIK Nero will only let you convert from MP3 to CDA, not the other way round.

Sent you some email as well

Mr pslewis I have converted many a MP3 into Audio but not the other way round. But I think I will be right in telling you that CDR win or now called Roxio ? will transfer Audio into MP3. If you use Nero Burner to change to Audio you can reverse the process back. Like I said never done it good luck Win mx is a good site.

Question

As I said BURR, Windows Media Player will not let me save as MP3

What I am trying to do is:- Save tracks from CD/TAPE/RADIO/PHONO onto my Hard Disk as MP3's

Am I missing another way of doing it?? I am a bit thick when it comes to IT

Pete
