How to rip an audio c.d.

First you need music to put on the CD. You can put your own music CD in the drive and run Windows Media Player and rip them to your hard drive (copies them). After you get all the songs you want onto your hard drive, you can make an audio CD if you ripped the songs as WAV files (this CD can be played in most CD players) or you can make an MP3 CD if you ripped the songs as mp3 files (this CD can only be played in CD players that support the MP3 standard). To make the audio CD or MP3 CD, just download the free program called BurnAware from the internet and run it. Insert a blank recordable CD in your computer, choose Audio CD or MP3 CD, then choose the songs you want and burn the CD. That's it.

Hi,
That's easy. When you insert an audio cd launch your Media Player and click on RIP and a downline menu will pop up you can select Rip CD automatically when inserted or more options to customize your cd ripping mode. After ripping the cd you can now add the songs to your library.

For about $40, it's time to buy a new CD/DVD reader/writer, since the current unit cannot "write" any disks.

Hi, can you please elaborate more on it.
what cd areyou trying to download, is it the main software for the mp3 player? or is it to just download music.

Is it a cd/mp3 player all in one?

Can you tell me which model number you have?

In your pc, if you open up windows media player, you can put in any audio cd and you can rip them to MP3 format. It will automatically save them to the library and then you can burn which ever songs from the library.

When you insert an audio cd you can automatically rip.
Click the rip button at the top and an option box shows, and rip the cd.
you can select the bit rate, this is the quality of the rip, the lower the number the poorer the quality but smaller file size, so you can fit more on a cd.
Click on format and make sure it's on MP3.

Put a blank cd in and click and drag any songs onto the play list.
You could add full audio cd's onto the black cd that have been converted to MP3, so you could fit a fair few albums.

If you need more help, please ask.

If this has helped you then could you please leave feedback.

Are you using CD-Audio or CD-Music media or CD-R's. Home recording CD recorders require the first types and will not work on CD-R's. It's a specification built in that supposedly collects and distributes a small fee from the sale of the blank Music CD's to give to the copyright holders of the music you are assumed to be pirating. Sort of like buying a card that let's you exceed the speed limit legally when you buy a sports car.
Additionally, the unit will not let you digitally copy a digital copy made on a consumer recorder. That spec was all thought up and implemented before everyone got PC's that can rip/copy/pirate prerecorded CD's without any restrictions. The digital copy horse left the barn years ago and audio CD recorders are still tied to special (more costly) media.

What type of CD did you copy? Different CD types have different methods for copying them (Example: a music CD has multiple tracks to copy; better to rip them then reburn them onto a blank disk; a DVD disk has multiple data, video and audio files protected on the disk, a straight copy wont work). Based on your question, you tried copying a music CD. Use a program like Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, or iTunes to rip the disk, then copy the ripped tracks to a blank disk. All three of these programs are free, and there are tons of other free alternatives out there to do this.

Windows media or Itunes can rip a CD for you and convert them into MP3 files. Then you can put in a blank CD in the computer and copy the MP3 files into the CD and burn them that way.

It requires to put the CD into a data format to burn them rather than a music CD format.

sounds like you burned it as a mp3 which you can play on certain mp3 compatible audio devices but your hifi and cd player are not mp3 compatible you would need to burn the disk as audio disk

Play Recordable CDs Containing MP3/WMA Audio Files
To play recordable CDs containing MP3 and/or WMA audio files:

Press the eject button on the Xbox 360 console (or select Open Tray from any area of the Xbox Dashboard) to open the disc tray.

Place a data CD-R or CD-RW containing MP3 and/or WMA media on the disc tray with the label facing up (to the right if the console is vertical).

Press the eject button (or select Close Tray from any area of the Xbox Dashboard) to close the disc tray.
Go to the Media area of the Xbox Dashboard. Select Music, Current Disc.
To play all tracks on the CD, select either Play All or Add to Current Playlist.

If you have an existing playlist open, Add to Current Playlist will append all tracks on your current CD to that playlist. Selecting Play All will clear a current playlist and create a new one consisting of all the files on the current CD. (Be sure to save your playlist, if desired, prior to selecting the Play All option.) Files are added to a playlist in alphabetical order by file name. Playlists start again from the beginning once the final track has played.
