| 488676 | 2006-10-02 23:43:00 | I saved a lot of audio cd's as MP3's, and I cannot get them back into the WMP area. I have the original CD's...and I am just feeling challenged enough by this problem...and if the truth is told, lazy enough to not want to dig out the old full version CD's and do it all over again.. I juat want to get the copies that are now MP3's off the CD-Roms on which I burned them, and back into WMP. Every time I try to auto-rip them as the settings are made, I can get the album data ok..and the sequence of the music is ok, but once I pull the CD's with the MP3's out of the drive, I get an error from WMP saying it needs the media put back into the drive to play it again. It seems that once removed as MP3's, they cannot be reinstalled again. What can I do? :confused: |

| 488677 | 2006-10-03 01:44:00 | not to sure what your doing but it sounds like a digital rights managment thing. easy fix...don't use WMP :) | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 488678 | 2006-10-03 03:15:00 | OK . . . I own the cd's . . . I ripped them into WMP and can play them as I see fit from there anytime I want . . . and I can burn them as cd's or mp3's as I see fit too . . . Now the problem is this . I burned them as mp3's onto discs (I was making back-ups, and used that format for the one reason that I could get them on a minimum number of discs) . So . . . still having the originals which is legal . . . and I cannot convert them to wmv files again . I wanted to send them to the hdd again from the cd's that are in mp3 format . WMP will not allow it . . . nor will Nero or B's . They don't "see" the mp3's . . . even though they play well enough in WMP if I leave the discs in the drive . This came about after I re-found my missing hdds from the KUBUNTU dual-boot a few months ago . . remember? Well, anyway . . I still have the originals and will rip them if I have to . . I just wanted to be able to do this as I feel it has challenged me . |

| 488679 | 2006-10-03 03:30:00 | Im with tweak'e on this one, got no idea what your trying to do. Converting from MP3's to WMA's is gonna result in a considerable loss of quality. If you've got them stored on CD in MP3's format (WMP normally rips to WMA by default, are you sure there MP3's?) then drag them on to your harddrive and find some software that will convert them to WMA? Why would you want to convert from MP3 to WMA anyway? Any portable player that plays WMA should play MP3 and the conversion will result in a loss of quality, i cant see any benefits. |

| 488680 | 2006-10-03 03:51:00 | I don't think he wants to convert MP3 to WMA - I think he wants to get the MP3's which he burnt to play in Windows Media Player. I think Joe should try simply copying them to hard drive again from the disks he burnt them to, then get WMP to access them from there. Anyway that's how I understand it. |

I wanted to send them to the hdd again from the cd's that are in mp3 format. if i understand you correctly.....why don't you simply copy/paste them from cd to hdd? (ie useing explorer). you can get a glitch where windows sees the cd as a music cd not a data cd. i can't remeber the fix off the top of my head. |

| 488682 | 2006-10-03 21:03:00 | gidday, I think you may have created a data disc, on which you have stored mp'3s. In which case, WMP is happy to play them, but I dont think will reconise a data disc for ripping. You need to copy them to your HD, (nero?) and convert them, from there, although dont see any real advantage in converting, to WMA. cheers, Robby |

That's what I want to do! I just want to re-insert them from the cd's back into the harddrive from whence they came . . . thankfully I had saved them from the hdd that grub tried to (sucessfully) format for it's own purposes . . . along with the drive I TOLD it to use . Grub messed up the data on two hdds, and I just wanted to restore the hdd-H back to original . I don't care about hdd-J and will just use it as a spooler for temp data anyway . I usually make WMP my default player . . . I know . . . but I like it . |

| 488685 | 2006-10-04 04:33:00 | Just copy them from the CD like you'd copy files from a USB drive or floppy using Windows Explorer. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
