Storing hundreds of songs on your computer can consume much hard disk space.
WAV files and tracks from audio CDs can take up to 50 MB per song. To reduce
storage on your hard disk, you can convert tracks from audio CDs into smaller 4 to
5 MB MP3 files. Creative MediaSource Organizer's built-in Rip Now module lets you
easily extract tracks from audio CDs, then convert them to MP3 and WMA formats
at high resolution bit rates of 320 Kbps and 160 Kbps, respectively.
To eliminate the need for you to manually type the track information of an audio CD's
ripped tracks, a feature called CDDB can connect your computer to the Internet
(Gracenote's CDDB service) and automatically retrieve the track names and other
useful track information for you.
If you have a CD-writer, another way to reduce music storage on your computer's
hard disk is to record audio tracks onto CD-R or CD-RW for playback on many
consumer hi-fi devices. Creative MediaSource Organizer's Burn CD module lets you
create your own audio and MP3 CDs from WAV, MP3 and WMA files. The Burn CD
feature also lets you easily design, create, and print matching CD covers and liner
notes for your audio CDs.
