Hi all,
Here is a little tutorial which I wrote for the program CDEX. I hope it is
helpful to some of you. If you have any questions, feel free to put them out
on the list and I'll do my best to answer them.
Brian.
What is CDEX
CDEX is software that is used to rip (extract) music tracks from a CD to
your hard drive on your pc. These tracks can then be transferred to a
portable
media device, such as an mp3 player, or burned to another CD to make a
compilation. They can be extracted in the form of WAV or MP3 files.
Installing CDEX
You can get cdex from
http://www.jfwlite.com/cdex_151.exe
1. download and save the file to a location on your hard drive.
2. go to the place where the file is stored, and press enter on it.
3. this begins the install process for the cdex software.
On the first screen, press the next button. Note, you can use your jaws
curser if you wish to read the screen.
Next, cdex will ask you for the location to which you would like to install
the software. It will create its own directory in your start menu and on
your
hard disk, so if you are happy with this, press next.
Note, you can choose a different file location if you wish.
4. After pressing next, the files will install and the installation is
complete.
It will ask if you wish to read the readme file.
Cdex is now installed and should appear within your programs group on your
start menu.
