| 415691 | 2005-12-25 08:18:00 | So I got the wife an mp3 player for christmas along with a couple of cds that she has wanted for a while, I told her this morning that I would convert the cds over to mp3 and chuck them onto the player so she can listen to them when she goes to the gym. So was is nothing ever that easy??? Took me a few hours to download the updates I needed for real player to get mp3's onto it and now I have just shifted the first of her new cds over to the pc for converting to mp3 and it seems that the cd is in RA10 format and I cant figure out how to convert to mp3!! Can someone help me out and give me a lead on a proggy that will do this. :help: Cheers Mike P.S. player is a "Zion 256meg" ex DSE. |

| 415693 | 2005-12-25 09:02:00 | Realplayer is a dog, If you can live without it I suggest you bin it. Just my opinion of course, as always. anyhow, Try cdex. cd-to-mp3.audiolaunch.com Edit. Possibily a better link, certainly known to be trusted, to have teh latest version, plus reviews by the admin and users. Maynot work well with Firefox but that may just be my settings.. www.download.com |

| 415694 | 2005-12-25 09:09:00 | The admins review from the above site . While most commercial audio software leans toward all-in-one suites, freeware CDex focuses instead on performing one main task as efficiently as possible . Extracting digital music files from CDs becomes simple, quick, and painless . CDex also offers enough advanced options for converting between formats to satisfy the serious digital music fan . The main interface is very clean, with a CD track listing, album information, and buttons that perform major functions such as ripping, converting, CDDB lookup, and configuration . CDex includes 12 different compressed file encoders, including MP3, AAC, WMA, APE, and OGG, and also supports any external encoders . The Profile feature stores personal configuration settings, and a bare-bones media player is a welcome inclusion . Because the program has a lot of configuration options, new users may feel intimidated . Basic functions are easily mastered, however, and well-written help files will guide anyone through the more advanced options . The installation includes support for English, Spanish, German, and Italian languages, and many more are available from the Web site . Indeed, by all rights, the free and easy CDex should go global . My Review . All media players suck apart from Winamp, and if you want to rip media then use a tool designed purely for that purpose . . . such as CDex . |
