[bcab] Ripping yarns

Hi all,

I have Nero and Windows Media Player on my PC.  Please can someone tell me:

1. what are the keystrokes I need with either of these programmes, to rip 
tracks from my commercially purchased CD's and convert individual songs to MP3 
formats for sending on to other people.  Don't worry, I'm not asking for help 
to break the law here.  I need to know how to do this as part of my work on 
plugging the existing guide Cats CD's and in compiling the next volume.

2. If neither Nero nor Windows Media Player will enable me to do this, what 
additional software will I need, and how do I get it?  

Note: I've grasped how to do the process the other way round - take an MP3 file 
or files and burn onto a CD for standard audio CD players, but the first time I 
tried ripping, I ended up with a CD containing a file with nothing in it, and 
called D__ - which was no good to man nor beast.

Best,
Clive
