There's a free programme you can download from the net called MP3 Direct Cut.  
It's a basic one track editing tool, but I'm nearly sure it's a converter as 
well.  It'll change any format into an MP3 file for you to work on.

  If WMp won't rip them into MP3, you'll have to get a format converter.  I'm 
afraid I can't remember which one I used, but googling for : music format 
converter" should, I'm sure, find you something.

  Hi Ken

   

  A milestone is a MP3 player.  I'm afraid the WMA files won't play on it.  
You're going to have to rip them into a format the player will recognise I'm 
afraid.

    All,

     

    Hope some can help unravel the challenges of modern technology - or at 
least it is modern for me!

     

    I have just acquired a portable Daisy player that also plays MP3 files.  I 
have successfully loaded talking books on to the machine, but cannot work out 
how to get music from Windows Media Player on to the player.

     

    I have ripped the music as WMA, and think it needs converted , but cannot 
find the controls on WMP to do this.

     

    Is the challenge that Jaws is not giving me the direction to manage WMP, 
which I generally find adequate, or is it that I need something else to allow 
me to change the music already ripped in to the required format.  I really 
don't want to have to rip all my disks again in a different format if I can 
avoid it.

     

    I am using Vista, WMP11 and Jaws 10, and am loading on to a Milestone, 
though that just requires standard MP3 format.

     

    Appreciate any suggestions.

     

    Ken
