Is There Any Way to Convert CD Files Into MP3 Files?

• Answer:

  Audio CDs that you purchase in an electronics store contain files that can be read by a computer. However, these high-quality files have a large file size that can take up a lot of space on your computer's hard drive. This can be problematic, particularly if you want to put the songs on an MP3 player. Windows Media Player, which is included by default on your Windows 7 computer, can convert CD files into MP3 files, which have a smaller file size. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions Click "Start," then click "All Programs.' Click "Windows Media Player." Insert the CD into the disc drive on your computer. This will add "Rip CD" and "Rip Settings" options to the horizontal menu at the top of the window. Click "Rip Settings," "Format" and then "MP3." Click "Rip CD." Tips & Warnings Tip: Although MP3 files are more portable and are compatible with most personal audio players, their audio quality is lower than that of songs found on CDs. If you want to back up your CD in case of physical damage while preserving audio quality, consider using the "WAV (Lossless)" format option in the "Rip Settings" menu.
