Heyall
I've just replaced the standard Toyota AM radio with a new Clarion AM/FM/CD/MP3 etc unit. Now, I've got a few CDs I'd like to burn in mp3 format (Coz I understand you can fit heaps of mp3 on a standard CD??). Is there a program or application required for such a task??
Thanks
Signman

Our 6 stack CD player stopped working, and as we are in the real outback for about 8 months travelling we went for a mp3 player and have the little gadget attached to it that plugs into your cig lighter and the mp3 player has over 2,000 yes, over two thousand songs on it and lots of room for more. It is something you can put in your pocket, in the caravan or in the car and not listen to the same song twice. You can tell it to shuffle the soongs so you do not get several by the same singer in a row too. Great thing and it is simple to use. When you plug the addaptor into the cig lighter it makes the player play thru your car speakers.
This way you have the CD's at
home safe and sound and the songs on the mp3 player and if you really want you cna have them on the computer too.
Enjoy your music, we do.

I use a free program called Jodix to convert to MP3 format (google it) then use itunes to create the MP3 disc.
follow this link for some simple directions: May have to copy and paste if it does not work.

windows media player 10 and 11 does a fine job doing what you want.

I agree - though I think Media Player 11 is a bit more user freindly than 10. You can convert to MP 3 or WMA. You can also choose the file sizes for WMA so that you can have a slightly bigger file which will improve sound quality - down size is that you reduce the number of songs that you fit onto a disc or Player, not by much though.

G'day Red Frog
Thanks for your input re: CD to MP3.
OK- I tried it last night and all seemed to work fine (using Windows Media Player).
Converted & saved in MP3 format.
However, it saves the tracks as 'Track 01 etc etc to Track 13 or 14 or whatever.
Now, if I were to 'convert 'another CD- would it write over the existing tracks (ie Track 01 etc etc) if you get my drift !!

Signman,
Hopefully my explanation may help you and not confuse you too much.
When I open Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 my security software asks to allow WMP 11 to connect to the net which I do.
When I rip using WMP 11 using the original CD it will automatically name the album, genre and song titles and saves it in the Library as such - this info is stored in the licence of the CD. The only time it hasn't done this is if I rip from a previously copied (i.e. no original CD) - which doesn't have the licence in it.
When this occurs you can go into the Library, place the cursor on the title, right click and 'Edit' comes up. You can then rename it to what ever you want.
Do this for the song titles as
well - that way you don't have heaps of Track 01, Track 02 etc.... You don't have to give it the full name just what ever is easy for you.

A good tip .
It takes a long time to collect and select the music and then convert it to MP3 and put it on your iPod .
Everytime I put music on my iPod , I save it to an external hard drive which I am about to save to disc .
If you loose your iPod , have it stolen or it craps itself , you have lost all that music and man hours . Also If a friend needs a copy , you cannot copy from the iPod ( I cannot anyway ) .
Cheers ,
Willie .

you will love your new mp3 player, not only can you fit heaps more songs on each cd but they skip less compared to the old toyota ones. I've made heaps of cds in mp3 format its a piece of bleep . I rip songs from my cds and friends cds onto my computer also burn songs from the net then put them into data format. I then burn them onto a blank cd, I have done this on nero a burning program also on Itunes which is on most new computers. You can download nero off the net from any of the free download sites like lime wire.

I am having my new Sony CD Player, which plays MP3 & WMA, installed this Saturday and I have spent the last week burning all of my CDs. Its great, I have reduced the number I have to carry significantly.

Use your Widows Media Player to make MP3s or WMAs both of which should play on your radio,You can select what type by going to TOOLS/OPTIONS/RIP MUSIC, what you should have bought is a car radio that has a USB port on the front , then you use a 1gb flash drive that will hold over 300 songs and no moving parts in it thus NO skipping or jumping , Brands I have seen with this is [
mine] a JVC, also in Sony, and Kenwood, all available now at Supercheap,
