DOWNLOADING AND TRANSFERRING FILES (CONT.)
CONVERTING AN AUDIO CD INTO MP3 OR WMA FORMAT
For Windows XP, you can also utilize the previously installed Windows Media Player 11 software
to convert music on an audio CD into MP3 or WMA format as follows:
1.
Open the Windows Media Player 11 Browser, then click on the "Rip" icon on the top tool bar.
Insert a Music CD into the CD-Rom drive of your computer.
2.
Check that you are connected to the Internet and then start Windows Media Player (WMP)
When you are connected to the Internet, WMP attempts to retrieve media information such as
the album and artist name about the tracks being ripped from a Windows Media database that
is maintained by Microsoft. WMP then adds the information to the files during ripping. If media
information is incorrect or missing, you can add or edit it after ripping. For information about
adding or editing media information, see Windows Media Player Help on the WMP web page.
3.
(Optional) To select a different format or bit rate for the files that
are created during ripping, click the arrow below the Rip tab,
as shown in the following screen shot, and then make your
selections from the Format and Bit Rate commands.
4.
(Optional) You can also change the default settings later on the
Rip Music tab of the Options dialog box, which is accessible by
clicking the arrow below the Rip tab, and then clicking More
Options, as shown.
