Creating MP3 music files

Using MUSICMATCH, you can copy the tracks from a music CD to your
computer's hard drive as MP3 files. MP3 (MPEG Layer 3) is a standard for
digitally compressing high-fidelity music into compact files without noticeably
sacrificing quality. MP3 files end in the file extension .MP3.
Important
To create MP3 files:

To have MUSICMATCH automatically list the album, artist, and track
names of your CD, then use that information for naming and storing your
MP3 files, connect to the Internet before inserting your CD.
