Yardbird, I couldn't resist founding out more about this program and what
everybody was talking about, smile.
So I installed it.
This is how I converted a MP3 to a WMA file.
Run the program.
I focused on the file or selected several files and pressed the windows
application key for the context menu.
On the context menu you will find convert with Easy CD-Da Extractor.
Enter on that.
You can continue to add files that way until you are ready.
Then switch back to the program.
Tab to where you hear output format combo box.
Press alt down arrow and arrow to WMA and choose it.
Now press f8. If you look on the actions menu, you will find that start
converter is f8.
It will convert, jaws will read the progress bar and when you think it is
done, the wma files will be in the same folder. (unless you change it in
the program).
I hope I remembered everything correctly.
You know one thing I have came to learn that has really helped me. Whenever
I install a new program, I check on the context menu if it involves files,
and I also try to look at all the menus. I then try to read the help file,
and hope it is accessible. You know though in this case I'm not sure that
would have helped, because they don't mention how to do it from the context
menu, or I didn't find that. Bruce obviously has more experience with the
program, so if I was wrong about something, I hope he straightens me out,
smile.

Bruce,
first, thanks for taking the time to write this instruction. But, may I
say in all modesty, I could hardly have just intuited the above as a
workaround for burning a CD from files on my hard drive. I lack the habits
of mind that would enable me to think of anything beyond trying again and
again to tab around the program's own interface and, figuring out that I
just can't access the functions I know are there where you have a Windows
Explorer-like tree view of your hard drive, then select a folder, select
files from within it, and then somehow copy them into a list box that
becomes the list of files to be burned.. you know what I mean.. I just give
up. I doubt I'm the only one who would. Pride makes me say that.
I never would have thought of simply dodging around the program as you
suggest. I hope you see that you've been of considerable help to someone
who can't think outside the regular end user box of either being able to
figure out a program's interface with Jaws or not being able to. Even now,
I can't imagine how it occurred to you that you could accomplish the task
the way you describe.
I intend to try this out this weekend, and will report if I'm successful, or
ask more questions if I need to. Meantime, may I ask one thing more? I
would like to be able to use the file conversion function of the program,
and once, by fooling around with the jaws cursor and taking nearly an hour
before I succeeded, and even then not knowing how I managed to get it
together, I converted a couple of .mp3 files to .wma's just to save space on
my modest-sized little flash memory player (A Sandisk Sansa M230). could I
insert files into the interface the same way as above, and then use the
conversion tools on what I'd imported into that box? I know how to use the
menus and button commands, etc.; it's getting the files into the right place
that has frustrated me, and it sounds as if this procedure could work for
that purpose, too, as well as for burning. Am I right?.
Thanks very much.
