Note: this is long, so those readers who already know this information, you
may not wish to waste your time on this correspondence.
Hi Alex, I do this all the time and it works very well for me. I'll tell
you that I have always had a difficult time with the help information for
Winamp and that's probably because I don't have the time to devote to
learning all the skills of navagating around the internet that I should
know. Anyway, here is how I do it.
1. I place my CD in the drive and close the drawer. Note: I have Winamp set
up to be my default player so the music on the CD starts playing in Winamp
in the main window).
2. I stop play by pressing V and then either open the Library or go to it
using control tab (if already opened).
3. When in the library, I press tab until I hear "Library." at that point,
I down arrow until I hear "CDRD" and then tab hearing first the playlist,
next play, then enqueue, and then rip.
4. Hitting the spacebar or enter here will bring up another selection
option...rip all tracks or rip selected tracks. Although I have tried to
figure out how to rip only selected tracks, I have been unsuccessful, sorry
about that, so I select rip all tracks and press enter. The ripping begins.
Note: If you haven't already, go to preferences by pressing ctrl P, hitting
home to go to the top of the preferences list, and then down arrow until you
hear ripping speed. Tab at that point until you hear unlimited, enter on
it. Since it is Winamp Pro, it should set to the level of your CDRW drive.
5. when it is completed, you can eject your CD and the CD you ripped is now
in your "MY Music" directory.
To burn:
1. Go to the winamp playlist editor.
2. Press ctrl o to open your files, shift tab to your play lists and you
should hear it say "playlists 1 of 118" (or whatever number of playlists you
have. Note: you may not need to open the playlists if you go here
immediately after ripping, since the tracks you just ripped are already in
your playlist editor.
3. If necessary, then select the playlist you desire, the one you ripped,
and hit enter. It may then ask you to again select the folder with a
specific extention, such as PLS or something, just enter on the one you
want, and your tracks will open in your playlist editor.
4. Now press ctrl tab and go to your library (or open your library. Then
tab until you hear "library". Stop there and arrow down until you hear
"CDRD."
5. Tab again hearing the selection "add button." I hit enter and get a menu
to select either file, folder, or current playlist. select current playlist
since you have just selected it in the editor.
6. When it is done adding all the tracks into your library list, you need to
continue to tab a couple of times until you hear "list view, x number of
items" Note: the first time you do this, it won't be a problem, you should
hear the number of tracks that exist in your current playlist, and if you
arrow up and down the list, you'll hear the track number and title.
However, on subsequent ripping opportunities,, if you do not clear the
current burning list, you'll simply add the new tracks to the previous
tracks, so be careful.
7. Tab or back tab until you hear burn. Be sure you place a blank CD
recordable in your CDRW drive, and press enter here and you'll get some
choices and information. It will tell you about some test burn choices,
tell you your burning speed, etc., I just go directly to burn now. Press it
and the burning will begin. When done, if you have it set this way, the
drive will open and your new CD will eject (I believe this is a default
setting, but not for sure.
Hope this helps, if you have difficulty, please feel free to contact me off

Subject: ripping and burning cd's in winamp pro
Can somebody please explain to me fairly simply, or as simply as possible,
how to rip cd's and burn music files to cd in winamp pro with JFW 7?
Looking at the winamp help, it appears to be the case that in order to do
this it's necessary to use the modern skin, which I was rather hoping to
avoid.
Thanks in advance.
Alex
