Ripping Audio Cds - Creative MuVo V100 Manual

Ripping audio CDs
To get music tracks from your CDs to your player, you will need a CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM drive that can extract digital audio data, and Creative MediaSource
Player/Organizer. Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer will read the audio
information on your CD and convert it to the WMA format using the bitrate you
choose.
The standard bitrate of most WMA files is 128 Kbps, although some are set
higher, at 160 or 192 Kbps. Using the standard bitrate will ensure that your
WMA files retain much of their audio quality. Higher bitrates will result in larger
WMA file sizes, with better audio quality.
The time needed to successfully extract audio from a CD depends on:
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive speed
defects, like scratches on the audio CD
error-checking features on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
bitrate selected for encoding
