Creating MP3 music files

Using MUSICMATCH, you can copy the tracks from a music CD to your
convertible tablet PC'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:
1
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.
2
Insert a music CD into your DVD or DVD/CD-RW drive.

Some music CDs have copy protection software. You
cannot copy tracks from these CDs.
If the drive you want to use is not in the modular bay, you
need to swap modules. For more information about
swapping modules, see

"Changing modules" on page 110.
