Mp3 Basics

[Phillip]

Guys I am trying to make n MP3 CD....the thing is the files loaded on my music folder when I rip CDs into media player are not in an MP3 format so I am not sure how to convert them.

I have been trying to read around for mp3 basics please indicate where I can go and read up or help with a soultion

Thanks

1. DONT use media player to extract audio cd
use CDex or EAC instead! a forum search will provide more information

2. SUPER 2006 is a freeware converter which should let you convert your current format to mp3

Is this the time when I buy an MP3 converter only to come to the forums and find that I bought a free software and I have been ripped????

Where can i get the audio file converter software...i have tried to read around but i am not winning

thanks uncm...we seem to hve posted simultaneoulsy

best audio transcoder imho is BeHappy, inputs all formats (specifically anything that plays via dshow), outputs all major formats

CDex is great for ripping

I have tried to download mediacoder and super2006 but my pc takes hours to download and husttles coz I am using bluetooth for connection.Both of these files are about 20 MG

Anony- where do I learn about BeHappy? I am able to use belight but it only takes one file at the time I need something faster....I also downloaded ease audio converter which works good but only converts 30 files for trial version....please help guys how can I dowload more files to Belight than one at a time nd where do I learn about Behappy??

iirc behappy requires .NET 2 and that is mighty big compared to those 20mb

here is the home of behappy:

use BELIGHT instead - it will let you open more than one file in a row and thus batch conversion is a child's play

[anonymez]

yup net framework is needed; if you really can't be bothered downloading it & you're after batch transcoding then belight is probably the way to go
