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.

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.
