Hi Eleanor, Why don't you use ITunes to rip the CD to the computer and it will convert to MP3 as it goes. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: 20 March 2012 15:15 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Converting Music CD to MP3 Files Hi all I used to be able to do this with Switch Sound Recorder but now I cannot, all I get is red X saying that it failed to convert. I am definitely using the software correctly. Now I want to convbert a music CD to MP3 and am looking for suggestions. I tend to put in the Cd and then go to My Computer and from there highlight Music CD and copy the CD to My Documents. Maybe I should not be doing this. Then like I say I cannot convert, indeed I can't even get what I copy to play in WMP or Real Player or even VLC media player, do not know why this is either. Finally once I copy over, the only info I have inside my folder is track 1, track 2 etc. Now I know it is possible somehow or other to get the names of the tracks as I accidentally got them using WMP which was great. I have never done this before but what I want is not only to read the names of each track but to have them written in each file rather than track 1 etc. Any help much appreciated.
