Hello,
Here are a couple things you might want to consider. First, you can rip
your CDS to the MP3 format using Windows Media Player 11. With your CD in
the drive and not playing use tab key until you find the "rip menu" button.
Press enter key and use down arrow key to the format menu. Open the format
menu by using right arrow key and then use down arrow key to the MP3 choice
and press enter key. Press enter key again on the rip menu button and use
down arrow key to the bit rate menu. Use right arrow and then use down
arrow to pick your bit rate and press enter key. Use enter key again on the
rip menu button and press enter key on the menu item that tells you the
drive the items will be ripped to. If ripping doesn't start in a couple of
seconds then use shift+tab to the rip button and press enter key. If
Windows Media Player can't identify the names of the tracks being ripped
then the tracks might be put in a folder called "Unknown artist" and then a
subfolder called "unknown album" that contains the ripped tracks. You might
want to rename each track ripped.
You can also use a small program called WINFF for converting MP4 to MP3. It
is a very easy program to use. I have put it on SendSpace if you want to
download and install the program. As you tab to the buttons in the
interface you will hear a graphic number given, but the button name is given
after the graphic number. Once installed just open the program from the
desktop icon or from the program group. Use tab key to the add button and
press enter key. Browse to the MP4 file to convert, move on to the name of
the item in the list to select it and then tab to the open button and press
spacebar. Tab to the "convert to" combo box and use up or down arrow keys.
There are 20 items in the list, the audio choice is what you will want to
use and it is the second from the top of the list. After moving on to the
"audio" choice use tab to the presets and use up or down arrow keys until
MP3 is chosen. Use tab key to the convert button and press spacebar or
enter key. Conversion will start. When you get the message to press any
key to continue then the conversion is complete. Use the "read current
line" choice to check for the message. Each song should only take a few
seconds. Here is a link to the file on SendSpace if you are interested in
downloading and installing it.

Take care.

Hi
I did not know this, I have copied a couple of ordinary music cd's on to
my pc and they have the mp4 extension. Did I do something wrong? I would
prefer them to be mp3.
regards
Graham

Victoria, you are correct. Mp4 is a video compression standard.

Would someone explain what MP4 is? Is it perhaps compression for video?
Thanks, Vicky

Goldwave is a sound editing and manipulation program. Among other
things:
* Batch conversion between audio file types
* Record two track stereo or single-track mono
* Add echo, reverberation and other effects
* Filter unwanted noise
* Edit sound files to remove unwanted content
* Could conceivably be used for "mastering," that is, preparing sound
files to be printed to a CD or DVD.
It's pretty much everything an amateur or semi-pro might want for
manipulating sounds. Very agile, very blind-friendly...but not
reallly for the absolute novice. IMHO.
