Convert an Audio CD to MP3

 

1.  Open Windows Media  Player.
2.  Open the TOOLS menu.  Click on Options, and choose the Rip Music tab.   If you don't see a menu with TOOLS in it, right click near the bottom of Media Player in an empty spot to the right or left of the Play, Fast Forward, etc.  controls, and choose Show Classic Menus.  You should now see a TOOLS selection in the upper left corner of Media Player.
 
 
3.  Under "Rip music to this location"  it will probably default to the My Music folder inside Documents and Settings.  Hit the Change button to choose a different folder if you want to save to a different location.
4.  In the "Format" drop down list, choose MP3.
5.  Under "Audio Quality", move the slider to the maximum bit your phone will handle.  If you're not sure, choose 128 Kbps. It will probably work
6.  Click OK.
7.  Load the CD you wish to convert.  If it starts playing in Media Player, hit the Stop button. 
 

 
8.  In WMP, on the Taskbar, choose Rip.  If the Taskbar is not visible, choose VIEW on the menu bar, then chose Menu Bar Options and uncheck Hide Taskbar.
   

   
9.  You'll be presented with the song list as above.  Check the ones you want to convert to MP3, and click on the Rip Music button.
10.  A progress bar will show in the Rip Status column, so you'll know when it's done.
11.  Open My Computer or Windows Explorer and find the folder where you saved the file.
12.  Play it just to make sure everything went as planned.
