| 1365595 | 2014-01-20 05:50:00 | I put a CD into computer, look in Computer and it gives option of playing, which I do. It shows as zero bytes and in properties it says Zero bytes. If I right click on it to send to a USB drive there is nothing to send, yet it plays, what am I doing wrong? Thanks again lads and PC. |

| 1365598 | 2014-01-20 07:00:00 | It has always been like that with audio CDs You need to "rip" the files. "To work with music tracks on your CD you need first to convert them to .WAV, .MP3 or another file format that computers understand. That's what a CD ripper does and that's why you must use a ripper before you can work with your music files on a computer. " Read here for the low down: www.techsupportalert.com |

| 1365599 | 2014-01-20 07:31:00 | If its an audio CD, then you can copy it as is, BUT not as simple as copy/paste. You need software thats capable of making an exact copy. Most CD writing software can do that. If you want to copy the audio tracks to a USB drive as Terry points out then yes you need to rip them to the format required. Theres plenty of free rippers / or copying software available, depending on what exactly you want to do. |

| 1365601 | 2014-01-20 08:45:00 | Windows Media Player will rip Music CD's. The only problem is its limited to what format you can rip to, and theres not as many options. Insert the CD, stop it from playing check settings ( next to Red box in the first picture) you can alter several in the list, or select a different output folder under More Options. ( theres other ways top get to that menu, but the ones suggested will get you there.) then once set click Rip CD. 5487 5488 You can edit details by right clicking the sections as in the red box, and right click the tracks and manually enter song names. 5489 Some rippers look up track details, others dont. I usually use Ashampoo Burning Studio for a lot of things: 5490 Its a free one that was given away a while back, if you want it let me know and I'll PM you the free Key and install file. :) PS: wont show what it found its SWMBO's CD LOL |

| 1365603 | 2014-01-20 21:43:00 | I am ripping via Media player,not sure what is supposed to happen, from the list to download it has a blue spot which suggests that is what is being ripped, but, it goes from 2 to 14 and all sorts of random settings, this has been going on for more than an hour now??? | Cicero (40) | ||
| 1365604 | 2014-01-20 21:48:00 | I will be shot for this, but itunes iscdead simple for ripping If you have difficulty with media player | plod (107) | ||
