308008 2004-12-27 07:35:00 Cant figure out how to convert WMA to MP3 using Nero 6, I thought it was the be all & end all in CD writing, but for the life of me I cant see how to carry out the conversion process.

Also, how do I Rip songs from a music CD onto the hard drive using Nero 6.

Thanks in anticipation.

308009 2004-12-27 07:47:00 Hi there John W, Yes you can do both these tasks in Nero 6. You need to open up Nero StartSmart and go to audio then click on encode audio files. Then to rip songs from cd you do the same but click on the convert audio cds to audio files.


HTH :D

308010 2004-12-27 08:04:00 Thanks, but for the life of me, I cant find Nero Startsmart on Nero Express 6, I guess the "Express" has this feature removed?

Can you please tell me where Startsmart is located.

Thanks.

308011 2004-12-27 08:09:00 Should be located under start > programs > nero > Nero StartSmart. Try that
If its not there search for it in windows.

308012 2004-12-27 08:21:00 John W - Nero Express does not have StartSmart. To rip tracks to your HD - Open Nero Express - click on More tab at the bottom of window - then select Save Tracks. Shortstop (632)
308013 2004-12-27 08:52:00 Thanks, Ive managed to get the music on to the HD, now I need to Convert to MP3, encode audio files is not an option on N 6 Express.

Have PCW freebee Cds contained Converter software?

Thanks John W

308014 2004-12-27 09:42:00 Try this free program to convert your CD's into mp3's (doesn't seem to do wma to mp3 though) - CDex (cdexos.sourceforge.net). Ripping your audio CD's directly to mp3's is handy. Haven't used it for ages, but was quite easy to use back then. :) Jen (38)
308015 2004-12-27 17:18:00 Just remember that converting one lossy compressed format to another, ie WMA to MP3, is going to result in a noticeable lack of quality. Greg (193)
308016 2004-12-27 19:40:00 Many thanks Jen, and to all others who have replied. Ive managed a workaround, thanks t Kazza & Audio Converter 4.1.

Thanks again..... John W
