Missy,
I have two suggestions.
www.poikosoft.com
and
www.cdex.com
The first costs a few dollars, and does more. The second is free, and is a
favorite among many people on this list.

Subject: [bookport] problems with CD rom drive
Hello, all. I'm experiencing a really weird computer-related problem, and
I'm hoping that it's something that can be easily fixed.
I was going to try and rip some of my books on CD to audio so that I could
send them to my bookport. I don't have any dedicated CD ripping software
because I haven't found anything accessible to use under Windows XP yet.
Anyway, to make a long story a bit shorter, I tried to investigate the CD
reading options in goldwave, and it said their was an error. It wasn't any
more specific than that, but no matter what I tried, it wouldn't do
anything with the CD I had in my drive. Similarly, I tried putting a CD in
to see if perhaps Windows Media player would rip it for me, and it also had
an error. Neither program would tell me specificly what the problem was,
but it would seem that for whatever mysterious reason, I'm not able to rip
CDs. Windows Media Player would play a CD, but that was about it.
Any ideas? Am I somehow missing some driver files or something? Windows
Media player was ripping CDs for me a couple weeks back, but naturally, at
that time, I hadn't thought of the idea of trying to put some of my audio
CD books into MP3 format for the bookport.
Does anyone know how I might go about fixing this problem, or I suppose a
better question might be, does anyone know the best software I can use for
the purpose described above? Ideally, I'd like to make a single mp3 file
from all the tracks of each individual CD; that way, a book such as one of
the Harry Potter books would consist of 24 mp3 files rather than tons of
really little files. Any assistance any of you can provide in this
situation would be extremely appreciated.
Thank you all very much for reading this, and I hope that everyone is
having a great day.
Missy
