You just need a TV tuner card. I know you can get internal cards and external USB attached cards. You just plug an antenna, cable or whatever into them. On 08/12/11 05:24, Howard Traxler wrote: What kind of hardware does one need to do TV whether cable or over the air? Thanks. Howard -

It's been a while since I ripped a CD, and I don't think I ever did it in Windows 7, but I ended up just using Windows Media Player. It's free, ubiquitous and I didn't find it that difficult to figure out, but that's a relative term and WMP does take some getting used to. On 21/12/11 01:22, ken

Are you looking for a burning program or a ripping program? You're asking about a burning program, which is where you want to burn music from your PC onto a empty CD, but later you talk about getting music off of a CD and onto your PC, which is ripping. I believe you can just use Windows Explorer

RAR files are archive files, like ZIP files, so you don't convert them, you unpack them. I'd recommend 7-Zip from: http://www.7-zip.org/ Last I knew, which wasn't that long ago, 7-Zip was free, accessible and supported RAR files. On 05/01/12 16:17, kim kelly wrote: I am wondering how to convert

I don't think Windows XP has anything built into it that can handle RAR files. You can create and uncompress ZIP files through Windows manager, just check out the File pull down, but not RAR files. I think this is also true with Windows Vista and Windows 7, but I'm not sure about that. On
