First, you have to "rip" the music from the CD using a program like Easy CD-DA Extractor or any of a number of similar programs. This will create a copy of the music on your desktop PC in MP3 format. Then, you have to either use the transfer software to place the MP3 file on the Book Port or, if you have a CF card reader attached to your computer, you can just copy the file straight to the CF card. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy Karstens" <nankar40@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Book Port List" <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 7:57 PM Subject: [bookport] Putting Music On Book Port How do you take music from a CD and transfer it to Book Port.
